Pros

The finance and accounting team works really well together and is great to partner with across the company. Everyone is collaborative, supportive, and focused on helping the business succeed, which makes it a genuinely positive team to work with.

Cons

The company is growing quickly, so things can change fast and processes are still evolving. That can mean ambiguity at times, but it’s also a good fit for people who are flexible and enjoy building as they go.

Pros

SunVest gives folks exposure to the full project lifecycle (development through construction and close‑out). Fast‑paced environment that allows employees to take on ownership early in their career/role. Leadership is accessible, and decision‑making is relatively quick compared to larger firms. Great collaborative office environment in downtown Chicago,

Cons

Rapid growth & changes in the industry can lead to reactive workflows, but this is not unique to SunVest.

Pros

On paper, the company lists attractive benefits—but many are misleading: "Unlimited PTO" is discouraged in practice, and employees are expected to stay available even when out of office. 401(k) vesting takes six years—far too long in today’s workforce. Healthcare plan has high premiums and limited coverage. HR lacks proper infrastructure and training to support employees or explain benefits clearly.

Cons

Nepotism and favoritism are deeply rooted in the company culture. Key leadership roles are given based on personal connections rather than experience or qualifications. A C-level executive openly stated in a company-wide meeting that their motivation is financial, not mission-driven—highly concerning for a company operating in renewables. Leadership has pushed through projects that were not built correctly, placing pressure on employees to manipulate data in analyses to meet timelines and cut costs. High-performing employees are routinely overlooked while underperforming favorites are promoted. The executive team is disconnected and unqualified, making decisions that negatively impact morale and operations. Feedback is routinely dismissed, and employee well-being is clearly not a priority. The work culture is toxic, disguised as “fast-paced.” Burnout is normalized, boundaries are ignored, and no effort is made to develop internal talent. There is no investment in professional development, training, or long-term career growth.
