Pros

During the interview process I asked each person what they liked most about working for SolarCity and they all answered, "The people." They were correct - - except for a few odd encounters, the majority of the people are amazing. The company is also Sales focused, which is terrific if you are in Sales.... that team tends to get all of the cool stuff like technology, training, uniforms, etc.

Cons

The company seems to struggle with budgets, forecasting, and process. Rules or guidelines for expenses for example seem to be lacking or overlooked for some. Not all leaders act with the same moral compass as the founders.

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.
