Pros

As a whole, the company has a clear vision: to save with world with solar energy, which is a very motivating and noble cause. The San Francisco is beautiful, with a deck and garden in the back for cookouts or meetings. SolarCity is rapidly growing, so lots of room to learn and grow.

Cons

Lack of communication in Marketing department between creative, media, research, and user experience teams, which lead to a lot of double work and chaos. The in-house creative team was pitted against an outside agency, which also lead to many people's frustration and ultimately exit from the company. The work environment was tense and stressful, due to so many internal conflicts. Very awkward and distracting.

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.
