Pros

Since starting at SolarCity, my colleagues and managers have been welcoming and open with communication. I respect the confidential / sensitivity of some company informatoin; but, have found that most questions can easily be answered with regards to the health of the business, company decisions, etc. The shuttle service makes it easy and hassle-free to get to San Mateo from San Francisco. I also can leave my car in the parking lot for the week, thus, avoiding unsafe San Francisco street parking.

Cons

I found that there wasn't a well-defined training program for my particular role; however, I brought this up and hope our next hire can learn from some of the processes that I went through.

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.
