Pros

The people at SunPower/BlueRaven were some of the funnest people to work with. I built a lot of great relationships there.

Cons

When SunPower was purchased by TJ Rodgers, he came in and was telling everyone how he was going to turn the whole company around and that "because he's a billionaire he knows how to make it happen" -- Well.. over the span of about a year he laid off about 70% of the company and tried to make other independent contractors so he didnt have to give them a base. The whole company dynamic changed and I now have yet to speak to any former colleagues who enjoyed being there. - Its very toxic now.

Pros

Honestly not a lot to say here. It is unquestionably the worst company I ever worked for. Back when it was Blue Raven, it was a fantastic place to work. Now it's a disaster.

Cons

Horrible, toxic company culture. It is a horrible combination or the start-up intensity and expectation of long hours, but the bureaucratic swamp of a company 10x its size. The company is full of executives who make $250,000+ and make not only zero, but negative contributions. Most have never worked in solar before and have no idea what they're talking about
