Run away from this company as fast as you can!

Pros

Some of your co-workers are great, but they won't stick around very long before quitting or getting fired. There is always a good supply of snacks in the offices.

Cons

Zero loyalty to employees by management. You are and always will be just a number to them. The current corporate HR team is the worst that I've run across yet in my entire career. They got rid of (or allowed to resign) the few good HR leaders, much like the rest of the leadership of the company. Everyone seems to have a manager title, whether they manage people or not. Zero job security, regardless of your performance.

Pros

- Solar is great for the planet - Chance to work with colleagues all over the world - I worked with some great people - Nice office space in Walnut Creek, CA (pre-pandemic) - Benefits are generally good

Cons

- Most important decisions are made at headquarters, which means China - Lots of turnover recently - Salaries are uneven but generally low - Solar industry is notoriously cyclical (they call it the "solar coaster")
