Great Company, Long Promotions

Anonymous employee

Pros

Everyone you work with is great, hardworking, and knows how to do their job. People are willing to go out of their way to help you learn your job and all training is hands on. After a really short time you'll be on your own learning with people around you. It's a great place to work overall.

Cons

The time between promotions is long, your manager may tell you that you're up for a promotion and then several months later you're still there waiting and when you talk to your manager he just says you're next in line, give it time.

Mission Driven

Pros

SolarCity is a company with heart that spends a lot of time talking about the mission. There are passionate and people who believe in change. Having worked for several large corporations, this is the first time that I believe that I have access to upper leadership who is willing to listen to what I have to say.

Cons

I've probably worked harder and longer hours here than any other job. The trade off of being at a company with invested people is that everyone works very hard and you are expected to as well. Work/life balance can sometimes be difficult however my experience is that leadership cares so if I raise my hand for help, many people come running.
