      Pros

      Fast paced, cutting edge, and innovative company. Unbelievable amount of support from management and executives to succeed. I view working at SolarCity a career, not a job.

      Cons

      I've never been happier working anywhere else.

      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.
