Pros

The only Pros being a designer is the flexible work hours. You have the luxury to work from home. That is all the Pros I see being a designer in this company. No other Pros!!!

Cons

Be prepared before you join this company. You are going to treated really bad by the upper management. No work ethic. They would expect you to work 24/7 a week. Be prepared to respond to emails or to take calls on weekends. You will be constantly threatened that you will be fired. They say that you can make 70k$ a year which is not true. You will end up making 50k$ a year. They try to hire fresh engineering grads out of college and pay them a really bad base salary There is no growth and the wage is not reasonable. I wouldn't recommend anyone to work with this company.

Pros

Just to quantify my review a bit, I am within the top 10% of inside sales reps within our 12,000 person company. It is a great place to work and people doing well ARE able to make good money here. The executive team ALWAYS has a platform for reps to help make SolarCity a better place every quarter. They involve the top 20 reps each quarter in various ways to help their peers through an interactive group called Team Elite. Executives, VP's, Directors, and Managers are always willing to help and go to bat when there are issues with things that need to be fixed. The direction of the company is consistent and although the company is large, decision makers work as hard as possible to steer the big ship quickly when necessary.

Cons

Knee jerk reactions with decision making at a director level create issues from time to time. Culture has had its ups and downs due to HUGE growth last year and subsequent high attrition rates.
