      Very positive working environment - Senior PV Designer SolarCity Employee Review

      Pros

      Having worked for a number of start up companies as well as Fortune 500 Engineering firms this is the best working environment that I have seen. The avg. age of employees is in mid 20s to mid 30s. It has a very positive vibe. My coworkers and the people around me are genuinly happy to be here. I like the work flexibility as well. As long as I get my projects done my manager doesn't care what times I come in or leave.

      Cons

      The company is growing very fast, so you should be able to keep up with changes within departments. There is no 401K matching and also no incentives for furthering your education.

      We are so happy to hear that we are the leader in culture considering all the places you have worked! Our work environment and culture are a reflection of our passion and mission. We believe that a person’s best work is not necessarily produced between 9-5. Due to the nature of our business, employees do have the ability to find a schedule that allows them a degree of flexibility. Thank you for your feedback on our benefits. As SolarCity is moving from the startup phase we are taking a good look at the benefits we currently offer our employees, and which benefits we should add next.

      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.
