Pros

The mission is real to switch our world renewable energy! We are helping families most of them are very happy. Even with flaws and Bone heads in charge we are still better than most other solar companies. When we get it right we are tough to beat. Great job!...just not a career. Elon will eventually root out "the muck"

Cons

Biggest challenge is lack of leadership, the company does not value its employees like its should. Top-down philosophy, as with most corporations that grow too fast. The policy and procedure makers react instead of plan. As the leaders of the industry the tech is sub par. I have never seen so many I.T issues. Nepotism! Many employees hired and protected even when they are awful at their job. "The Muck" - aka the "Wolves of Wall Street"aka "The boiler room bros"...News flash!...Those guys all went to jail!

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.
