Pros

Normal company, used to be great, still is decent. Overall a good choice in San Diego. They clamped down a bit on things after the Caterpillar buyout.

Cons

After the Caterpillar buyout they started cutting perks, it used to be a quirky and interesting, fun, place to work. During my 3.5 years there I saw it getting more and more corporate. If you're looking for a good job, it's a good option though. Though not a huge amount of room to grow.

Pros

People are treated like family. Flexibility on schedules and work times are big priorities for the company. I have always had great leaders and managers, but like any company its not perfect. Great 401k match, and a nice big bonus when the company does well.

Cons

Solar needs to be a little bit better at paying high performers, but they are often restricted by corporate structures.
