Pros

SolarCity is definitely changing the world in a positive way and I fully support their mission and their product. They provide good benefits, generous compensation and their company culture, although at times a bit cheesy, is for the most part positive.

Cons

In Colorado, the SolarCity management is an absolute joke. Management is constantly changing policies and sales goals on a whim, without giving lower level employees any time to adjust. The timeline for promotions was constantly changing and false expectations and promises were often made by mid level managers. In my time, SolarCity was able to bring in top notch talent but the scattered management style was so discouraging that most talented people ended up leaving within 1 year.

Pros

The company pays really well, if you are looking for a temporary job it's great. I came aboard in the outside sales team, I have a flexible schedule and I the job is easy at times.

Cons

There is no consistency or structure, success rate is low and the pressure is high. They rarely promote from within there is a very low level of respect from CEO Dave brown to his employees. Overall I would say if you are intelligent, career driven, and over the age of 29 this is not the place for you.
