Pros

The mission and the senior management team. The people up top are very passionate and sincerely want to change the way energy is produced and ultimately cure climate change. Flexibility and no micromanagement

Cons

There is a huge disconnect between sales and operations, especially on the east coast. The company holds a national standard for sales quota, when its is very obvious it needs to be adjusted due to market conditions. Many jobs gets DQ'd in Northern NJ because of structure or trees.

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.
