Vantaggi

I was paid regulary and benefits were reasonable.

Svantaggi

I was hired into an executive leadership role at SolarWinds under the current CEO. While optimistic about the opportunity to turn the business around post breach, I started to realize it was all wishful thinking. 4 of the 6 other executives I interviewed with left the company within months after I started. In less than 6 months I had 3 different managers and ZERO performance reviews or feedback. The product strategies changed weekly. Plans would be set only to be scrapped and new plans introduced. It become clear there was no product plan or vision, just a lot of guessing. Any new ideas I tried to introduce were just met with resistance. And what good work was done was blatantly claimed by other executives. The culture it turns out was corrupt, with only lip service about how much leadership C.A.R.Es. I was happy when I left, and felt badly for the people who remained. The employees are very good, but they can not succeed with such poor leadership. And if customers knew how poorly the company is managed, I think they would leave even faster.

Vantaggi

Competitive pay, but very rarely worth it for the amount of work given.

Svantaggi

In my experience, this was the least effectively run organization I’ve worked for. Core internal processes were inconsistent and frequently changed without clear ownership, which made planning and execution unnecessarily difficult. Decision-making authority was often unclear, and accountability for outcomes was limited. Several managers appeared under-empowered or insufficiently experienced for the scope of their roles, resulting in unresolved issues and shifting priorities. The culture felt highly political, with visibility and internal alignment sometimes taking precedence over delivery. Informal cliques appeared to thrive, which made collaboration and transparency harder than it should be. Suggestions for improving processes or addressing recurring issues did not gain traction and were perceived negatively, creating an environment where initiative felt risky rather than supported. I experienced the workplace as toxic, with low trust, limited psychological safety, and conflict frequently handled through escalation or avoidance rather than resolution. HR structures were not effective at addressing concerns or providing a neutral escalation path. Senior leadership frequently emphasized a unified company culture; however, in practice different parts of the organization operated with noticeably different norms and priorities, with limited integration into a cohesive whole. Overall, the environment did not support high-trust, high-accountability work, and sustained progress was difficult despite the efforts of some capable individuals.
