Pros

Some of my co-workers are cool, free snacks in the break room

Cons

Really not sure how they won Best company to work for - PAY!!!!! Compensation is Lacking big time. I've worked here for 1.5 years. No annual reviews, no pay raises, no cost of living increases. After health benefit cost and taxes I'm basically making min. wage. You go from one department to another and they don't give you a pay raise...in fact they may reduce your pay back to entry level although you've been with the company for some time. - Training - The whole process of getting a job from start to finish is a big mess - Hard work may get noticed...but you'll get over looked for promotions or raises - its a club; if your in with the right people you get picked for projects and promotions, seniority has no bearing - not all departments get bonuses

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.
