Sunrun reviews

Management is completely disconnected from the job and duties therein. No one on the supervisory level (even the people in charge of training and process development) has done the job themselves, therefore they are clueless when you come to them with questions and will often just guess. You'll learn to rely on your team members for resolving issues. To boot it they are CONSTANTLY changing ("improving") processes which results in mass amounts of confusion. Working hard and covering your duties MIGHT get you a pay raise but it won't get you promotion. The highest paid person in my department (and first in line for a promotion) spends a better part of the day fooling around playing games while the people who really drive results and crush their job are turned down for promotions on a regular basis. Think Office Space. Not much time to live your life outside of work. OT is expected and they regularly ask employees to come in on Saturday (although you can just say "no"). No work from home options.

Unfortunately they've hired and retained some really bad management in Engineering & Product Management. Despite a ton of negative feedback on Employee Satisfaction Surveys (mine and others I talked to), the same toxic people are still there doing the same things six months after I left. This has led me to believe that upper management doesn't care as long as the trains run on time. They have lost a lot of good people and they seem to be rationalizing it instead fixing the problems. I'm amazed at the amount of negative feedback on this site, considering the apparent state of denial (or apathy) of upper management. Do they read any of this stuff??? You wouldn't know it from working there. Lynn once said in an all hands (paraphrased) -- "You may notice a lot of people leaving the company. What we're doing is hard. Some people will burn out." Well, I have to say that management there is intentionally making it harder than it has to be and they're losing a lot of good people as a direct result.
