Pros

If you show the capability to handle complex responsibilities and tasks, then SolarCity will absolutely put you in the position to take those challenges on. It is a great place to gain experience in a fast developing industry. You really are on the forefront of the solar industry at this company.

Cons

Pay is low for the quality of the employee necessary to perform at a high level at SolarCity. Typically it is up to the employee to prompt management about any increase in pay rather than a planned growth in salary over time. Often times SolarCity is reactive in their hiring process, waiting until resources are strapped in a department before hiring more, putting stress on existing hires when a training program is needed.

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.
