Toxic Culture

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, in a good field.

Cons

Overall, it was a toxic culture. Those making decisions don't want information, they just want results, even if those results come at a cost. There is no holistic view of how their implemented changes affect the whole, so everyone is only focused on their own personal metrics, constantly undermining everyone else's processes. No true collaboration, just pretending to get along so they can move on and do their own plans.

Pros

Meaningful work in a company strongly positioned to weather the current storm in the solar energy market. Work in a U.S. company that manufactures products in the United States as well as overseas.

Cons

Highly volatile solar market creates risk in future employment opportunities with the company. Company's internal processes and systems are still immature and need to develop.
