Pros

-Stock options! -Competitive pay -They are always offering incentives on performance across the departments. They really recognize and reward those who contribute. -The company culture is fantastic. -Management really listens to the concerns and suggestions of employees. This company was built on the suggestions and input of its employees. -This company has a huge vision and is proud of it. The passion here is amazing and the fact that we have every capability to carry out great things on a massive scale is great for peace of mind. I will have a job for a long time as long as I do my part.

Cons

-As with any growing company, there are growing pains. There is a lot of change and the ability to adjust quickly is important. -Communication between departments is difficult as we constantly change and figure out the process and best practices. -Sometimes we have to do menial or unnecessary tasks for a while before management responds and makes our work more focused/simpler.

Pros

I feel very passionate about what I do and am so happy I can make a great living doing something I truly believe in. SolarCity is growing like crazy, so if you don't like change, this is the wrong place, but if you are looking for a dynamic industry and workplace, you'll love it here! I work in sales and flexibility is very important to me. As long as I meet my sales numbers, I make my own schedule and can do what I want for the most part.

Cons

SolarCity just went public, so just like any company who does that, there is much more concern for costs, so there has definitely been a real focus on costs which means extra demands on current employees and trimming of fat.
