      A Company run firmly on favoritism and not promoting from within.

      Pros

      They do have good benefits.

      Cons

      If you are not in the social clicks in the company your opportunities are squashed. When hiring for new positions they do not look at the experience of the there present employees as a positive asset for the new position. They weigh both the external applicants evenly with the internal applicants. After 1 to 2 years of employment at First Solar they no longer allow you opportunities to grow.
