Pros

Some of the best co-workers I've ever worked with.

Cons

Dishonest about compensation, boys club (they only promote friends), management has no clue whats happening in the offices, employees work OT without getting paid (but are threatened to be fired if they don't show up on holiday's and or stay longer than 8 hours a day), become one of the most stressful places I have ever worked. Many employees stuck it out because they were promised when Tesla bought them out it would get better, instead, Tesla has dramatically downsized and continues to downsize. The Roseville office housed over 500 employees and is now being completely shut down

Pros

Just to quantify my review a bit, I am within the top 10% of inside sales reps within our 12,000 person company. It is a great place to work and people doing well ARE able to make good money here. The executive team ALWAYS has a platform for reps to help make SolarCity a better place every quarter. They involve the top 20 reps each quarter in various ways to help their peers through an interactive group called Team Elite. Executives, VP's, Directors, and Managers are always willing to help and go to bat when there are issues with things that need to be fixed. The direction of the company is consistent and although the company is large, decision makers work as hard as possible to steer the big ship quickly when necessary.

Cons

Knee jerk reactions with decision making at a director level create issues from time to time. Culture has had its ups and downs due to HUGE growth last year and subsequent high attrition rates.
