Pros

Free breakfast on Mondays and lunch on Fridays You really are coming to work every day to change the future of energy Wonderful CEO

Cons

I really have high hopes for the company but the culture at Sunrun is not great. Internal communication is terrible and practically nonexistent, benefits have been taken away, employees are worked like dogs because the company wants to stay "lean," the departments that need help the most can't get head count increases. It's nearly impossible to be productive at the office because it's so loud and chaotic. There are never conference rooms available. Cross-functional teams don't work together or communicate because they're too overworked. Despite the most positive attitude, it just seems like the odds are working against you when you're working at Sunrun. And it really stinks when you believe in the product and business model.

Pros

Free breakfast on Monday's and free lunch on Friday's

Cons

Paid time off was just reconfigured from 15 PTO days, 9 sick days and 3 floaters, to 18 PTO days combined vacation and sick days. Meaning we are losing 6 sick days and 2 floating holidays for a total of 8 days.
