First Solar reviews

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.

It’s hard to see how FS can afford the future R&D expense to keep their “panel output” advantage against the Chinese machine. Headwinds of margin erosion will increase year over year. While shedding of non-complimentary business lines will improve the cost base, advice to anyone looking to join FS solar needs to understand that the “future “ FS is likely to be very different to its past. If you like fast paced challenges - then jump in, you will learn a lot from a great team.
