Is this your company?

Pros

SolarCity has given me the opportunity to work my way from a 12$/hr grunt to an overpaid engineer capable of making more than my parents. The people who work at this company make the office an experience one that I look forward to being a part of each day. EVERYONE I have worked with is caring, funny, laid back, and always willing to lend a hand.

Cons

SolarCity, like most startups and quickly growing companies, hires eager young employees and asks them to work tirelessly to stretch the compensation provided. By this I mean young people work harder and longer and for less. This is the target employee base for this company. In my opinion, this makes for a better workplace though, as I am one of those people who likes to work hard!

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.
