Sunrun reviews

Executives are inexperienced at best, completely inept and self-destructive at worst. Bureaucracy is everywhere except where it is needed, drama and intrigue plague management, and most of the valuable employees have work piled to the heavens while hordes of inefficient and largely pointless consultants and contractors do nothing or make life harder for the full time employees. There is no project management, so no one's time is valued. Projects are either forced to be released on-time despite being unready/untested or are put off forever because no one organizes the manpower to get things done. At any given time, six groups will be working on the same thing from different angles and duplicating work or working against each other. Code review is sparse at best and a joke more often than not. The company is, in reality, half loan agency and half software company. However, management treats it as a sales and advertisement firm. This means that the three most valuable departments (Engineering, IT, and Finance) are often the least listened to and supported. Meanwhile, Sales and Marketing are kowtowed to at every opportunity. Non-management that try to organize or manage are shut-down and cut off at the knees. Management that overstep their bounds or meddle in other departments are promoted to Director and VP level. Management is often hired from the outside, rather than promoting those who have risen to the challenges internally. The recruiting page on the web-site is full of inaccuracies. "Fun days" are all but eliminated now, replaced by mandatory offsite meetings. Current benefits are hardly competitive. Stock for new employees is minimal if it is offered at all. Pay is barely competitive below senior management level. Employee opinions are rarely solicited, instead decisions are made behind closed doors by the elite few and handed down as mandates. In short, a nightmare for anyone below senior management.
