Pluspunten

I wish I could share something positive apart from commenting that some of my former coworkers from the old Solarwinds were a decent group of people. Perhaps one other positive is that the company has finally gotten rid of their CRO that was in way over her head though I hear reports that the incoming CRO has an interesting reputation so likely shall not be any better.

Minpunten

There is no direction for the company apart from the obvious direction down the plug hole with an incompetent and self serving CEO at the helm. His cronies pander to him and life at the working level is just an unpleasant experience fuelled by bullying and ineffective management layers. The company often engages in questionable sales and channels practices which is a well known “secret”. Avoid this lame duck of a company at all costs.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
