      Good place to work

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people are friendly and the work is generally quite interesting. You are able and encouraged to interact with people from all different work groups. The company is large enough that you can always move if you want to be doing something different.

      Cons

      The processes for compensation encourages mediocrity. After your performance review you are categorized as under performing, performing, or highly performing. Even if you exceed all of your goals for the year and have a fantastic performance review, unless you are considered in the top 5% by your department head you get rated as "performing" and are compensated the same as someone barely meeting goals.

      Good place to work, great people to work with

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Relax, layback envorionment. Flexible work time. Very good with the vacation policy, never been deny to use it when ever and how ever I want to. Most jobs (other than managers) are open for intenal people to apply to.

      Cons

      No clear career path. Not much training other than following someone around all day or figure it out on your own. Your life at solar really depends on your manager. Most of them are pretty great, but if you get stuck with a bad one, they can make your life pretty misable and there is little/nothing you can do about it.
