Pros

Why work at SolarCity? Because the solar industry is booming and opportunities for growth are THERE. Don't expect to get anything handed to you, that's not what SolarCity is about. But if you work your tail off and are willing to treat your career like a jungle gym and not like a ladder, you're guaranteed to make some waves and get your foot in the door to some awesome positions! Not to mention, the awesome people you will meet along the way!

Cons

Challenges I've experienced is with particular managers - but what job doesn't have this problem on occassion? SolarCity is huge on culture and hiring A+ players. If you can't keep up with the A players, it's likely you'll be frustrated here.

Amazing working environment filled with friendly, supportive, and intelligent people. #1team1dream

Cons

On the 3rd floor of HQ, if you don't get to the M&M's before 9:30AM, you're guaranteed an M&M-less day.
