      Pros

      Possibly working for a company that is changing he world. But that depends on where the customers are getting their electricity from. Also solar panels and tiles may add waste to the environment. I suppose an independent organization can evaluate the net environmental impact of electric cars and solar products.

      Cons

      Cult like atmosphere. Excessive workload. Bogus accounting in order to close in less than 5 days. Money losing company (Tesla) buying another money losing company (solarcity). This purchase was a bailout benefiting the family running both companies. Executive turnover. Relying on government subsidies to grow and survive.

      Pros

      Talented and passionate people working at the company.

      Cons

      The company got so big that it was hard to get anything achieved on a timely manner. Too many decision makers that couldn't and/or wouldn't make any decisions.

      Pros

      they give free coffee which was cool

      Cons

      the leads are dry. the people who wanted solar, already have it. your job now is to go through old leads and try to get people who have already said no to say yes.
