Pros

Nice co-workers, founders seem approachable, depending on which department you are from.

Cons

Same sentiment as all the reviews before mine. Over worked, under paid, fired after a year because young in experienced management does not know how to treat people. Iam not a number. I did my job with very satisfactory results, but was told I'm not doing enough. They best you down, over work you, then fire you to hire someone for thousands less.

Pros

SolarCity still has a young spirit, and the company is working toward a good cause. People are generally nice and friendly. The company is going to make a lot of money with its IPO. Most people don't dread going to work every day, or if they do, they do not show it externally.

Cons

Poor pay--much less than industry standard, none of the additional revenue gets passed on to the employees, lots of new management coming in and firing old hands to make way for IPO, every department is understaffed and the work is overwhelming
