Pros

SolarCity is a company with heart that spends a lot of time talking about the mission. There are passionate and people who believe in change. Having worked for several large corporations, this is the first time that I believe that I have access to upper leadership who is willing to listen to what I have to say.

Cons

I've probably worked harder and longer hours here than any other job. The trade off of being at a company with invested people is that everyone works very hard and you are expected to as well. Work/life balance can sometimes be difficult however my experience is that leadership cares so if I raise my hand for help, many people come running.

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.
