Pros

- I was fortunate enough to work with some of the nicest, most skilled people I've ever known in the workplace. - It was a pleasure fostering a collaborative environment to get things done, and there was opportunity to grow beyond your job scope if so desired. - Knowing you're helping the world with renewable energy is also a plus. - I was also fortunate to work for a manager that allowed a great work-life balance.

Cons

Aside from those in sales or in the "in crowd" people are not genuinely appreciated overall, which created a low morale. Evidenced by many leaving for other opportunities in recent months. Accountability is almost nonexistent, and ownership of work becomes convoluted as such. Lack of clarity in job responsibilities and department functions added to tedious, unnecessarily complicated work that could have been done better if not for archaic resources and unaware upper management.

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.
