Pros

still have a great company vision and the executive team care about what the company does

Cons

What's been lost in the last 5.5 years since i've worked there is the company has become a bureaucracy, management caring only about policy and not the individual employees. the culture has really changed from people caring about what we do and for each other to one of people just care about getting ahead and many layers in between people's positions. things move slowly, people are not as responsive, and ultimately people don't care for each other because we bigger now and what is one employee's grievances?

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.
