Pros

Mission is great to be apart of - renewable energy makes you feel like you are really a part of changing the health of our planet. SunPower also is best at what they do in industry.

Cons

Communication from leaders at the top (CEO, SLT) down to us everyday employees was horrible. Very silo'd. Leaders never interacted with just us regular people - walk right by you without so much of a "hi". They stayed locked away in their corner offices unless they were with other SLT members. Just really felt a wall there. No connection to the core of what the company does - meaning - its people.

Pros

The people at SunPower/BlueRaven were some of the funnest people to work with. I built a lot of great relationships there.

Cons

When SunPower was purchased by TJ Rodgers, he came in and was telling everyone how he was going to turn the whole company around and that "because he's a billionaire he knows how to make it happen" -- Well.. over the span of about a year he laid off about 70% of the company and tried to make other independent contractors so he didnt have to give them a base. The whole company dynamic changed and I now have yet to speak to any former colleagues who enjoyed being there. - Its very toxic now.
