Pros

work environment is relaxed. and most people are friendly

Cons

communication between engineers and managers aren't the greatest, not a good place to work at if you want to grow fast as an engineer. low pay compare to most bay area companies. expect to work overtime but get paid less

Thank you for this review. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the work environment and culture at SolarCity, but unfortunate that you didn’t feel there was an opportunity to grow here. We believe strongly in providing career opportunities to our teammates, and promoting our top performers from within whenever possible. As a company, we have grown exponentially over the past ten years, and while we’re in the midst of change right now, we are really excited about what’s ahead for the company and our teammates. Thanks again for your feedback, and we wish you all the best.

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.
