Pros

Excellent mission, the goal of sustainable energy for everyone is great to be a part of.

Cons

Underpaid in every position, they'll take advantage of people wanting to save the world and under pay across the board. Management cannot anticipate anything, so all decisions and direction are reactive. This makes for a horribly chaotic work environment. You're treated as a number, not a person. Management is obsessed with metrics, only looking at a black and white number and not taking in any other information for their decisions. Work life balance is essentially non existent, you're expected to work all the time. Even the most recent holidays. Told you'd be paid additional bonus for working them, then they're "forgotten about" when payday rolls around. Currently pushing "perfect customer experience" without taking any time to focus on the internal customers which are the employees.

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.
