Amazing Executive Team/Great Company to Work For - Anonymous employee SolarCity Employee Review

Pros

First of all, compensation is one of the best around. Benefits are ok, a little expensive but not horrible either. The culture of the company is, hands down, the best I've ever been apart of. You spend 1/3 of your life at work, you should love the people you work with and the people you work for.

Cons

Parking situation at HQ is really bad. $100 to park in the parking lot right in front of the building OR park a mile away and spend 20-25 minutes waiting/riding the shuttle to your car. Training to go into management, isn't the greatest. This results in managers that aren't ready to be managers or have no idea how to manage people. Work/Life balance can sometimes take a backseat. There's a ton of work to do that needs to be done yesterday.

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.
