Pros

Why work at SolarCity? Because the solar industry is booming and opportunities for growth are THERE. Don't expect to get anything handed to you, that's not what SolarCity is about. But if you work your tail off and are willing to treat your career like a jungle gym and not like a ladder, you're guaranteed to make some waves and get your foot in the door to some awesome positions! Not to mention, the awesome people you will meet along the way!

Cons

Challenges I've experienced is with particular managers - but what job doesn't have this problem on occassion? SolarCity is huge on culture and hiring A+ players. If you can't keep up with the A players, it's likely you'll be frustrated here.

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.
