Pros

- Meaningful work to enable people to go solar - Disruptor in the energy space and part of the solution the world needs to reduce global warming - People are really friendly, nice, and easygoing. The culture is one of the best. - Very fair compensation plan that pays for performance - Upper management is visionary and clearly is in it for the long haul instead of trying to take the profit and run - A lot of changes translate to a lot of opportunities - Depending on your team, some managers are open-minded to ideas for improvement and processes to enhance efficiency - Some coworkers are hardworking and are smart

Cons

- A lot of changes which sometimes can mean uncertainty - Many back end teams are overworked because most resources went into investing in growing the sales organization - Depending on your team, promotion can be slow - Compensation is not the best - Market is still being developed - Depending on your career stage/age/motivation, work can grow to be boring

Pros

I wake up everyday knowing that I am making a difference locally, nationally, and globally. We are growing so fast that there are great opportunities for people willing to work hard and make a difference! I got great tools day #1 to do my job. In general I get to spend 90% of my time and mental energy with customers and coworkers who pump me up and give me faith in our future.

Cons

We are growing so fast that some great, well meaning folks who believe in our mission, but need a lot more guidance, can get left behind. You really need to be on your game coming into this company.
