Pros

The team is comprised of forward thinking people doing tremendous work for a great cause. Everyone seems to be willing to learn new technologies and the company is great about encouraging that. It has a startup type feel without the risks that come with being a startup. As solar becomes more and more prevalent, there are very bright things in SolarCity's future.

Cons

As the company grows, it is starting to get away from its roots and get more corporate. It seems like lately there has been a larger focus on making a profit and cutting costs tied to potential legislation changes and that has slowed morale a little bit.

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.
