Pros
For the longest time, SolarCity was the mythical unicorn of jobs for me. Great people, an exciting product, the general feeling that we were all apart of something greater than ourselves. In a lot of ways, it's still really great. The vibe is collaborative and cheerful. I get to work on exciting and creative projects. My peers are some of the funniest, kindest, and also most capable people I have ever encountered.
Cons
My manager. Since stepping into this role, I have been screamed at, ridiculed in front of my team and others, or most often- just ignored completely. This had made me such a wreck that I cannot even carry on a conversation without becoming emotional. As a woman, this is an especially problematic label in the workplace. When I attempted to bring my concerns to upper management, I was cheerfully rebuffed. It became immediately clear that no one is willing to help me with this situation.
