Pros

Where do I start? We are lead by the Rives. They are two genius brothers that are shaping the way solar is looked at across the USA and world. Everyone that works at every office that I have ever spoken is extremely stoked to be working for the markect leader. Everyone is positive and upbeat. Everyone. SolarCity stands by all of their work for 20 years from the smallest screw to the largest inverter! Thats monitoring, insuring, maintenance, and production guarantees! We dont push product like everyone else, WE PROVIDE AND SELL CLEAN ENERGY! Oh, and its free! SolarCity saves the climate one household at a time. We work with the customer to customize a perfect system to their needs. We work with them and for them every step of the way. Every employee owns stock in the company and we pride ourselves on incredible work whether it be installing panels or filing documents. We are so proud of our company and work that we dont subcontract and we perform all of our own work.

Cons

Zero. Hard work? But hard work pays off where ever you work.

Pros

Think of a place where you are surrounded by creative and supportive people who all have the same goal in mind (changing the world) add to that a well-planned and pleasant office environment set up more like a think tank than an office and remind them weekly that we are the only obstacles to the warming planet who’s success can be calculated on a daily basis. Then inspire them with industry leaders that have no limits to their imagination, energy and belief in you and that will look a lot like SolarCity.

Cons

If you don’t like change and in particular growth and being out in front, this might not be the place for you. This is a place where ideas become reality and sometimes snow ball into actual products that get mounted on a customer’s house. Employees here don’t stick to traditional schedules, they work on their projects as if it’s a master piece and when they share it with us we treat them as respected artists. We work hard, we celebrate and we play as often as we possibly can.
