Pros

Co-workers and management open to new ideas and opinions. Expectations are to work hard and execute - this can be tough but I look at this as a plus. Management tries to be transparent as much as possible on company goals as well as company performance. Overall one of the better companies I've ever worked for.

Cons

The solar industry is dynamic and changing, meaning processes / company goals / overall company direction can and will change. If you are more comfortable in a stable / known industry this may not be for you.

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.
