Pros

Great company with an important mission to increase renewable energy access. Lots of opportunities to learn about the industry and learn new skills. I saw many lower level employees promoted and trained on new roles that will provide a career path in Sunshare and their next roles. Fun and collaborative culture that promotes a startup vibe without the funding concerns of most startups

Cons

The company's growth can cause opportunities as well as challenges.

Good People, Bad Leader(s)

Pros

Community solar gardens is a cool model. The impact of the work feels good on a social level. SunShare was supposedly the first community solar company, though telling how their community solar peers with normal companies have surpassed SunShare in the market.

Cons

The CEO is an unqualified leader whose entire professional identity begins and ends with this company, whose greatest talent is recruiting strong people to shield him from accountability, and whose leadership appears motivated less by results than by control. Success here has little to do with performance or outcomes — it’s about staying in the CEO’s temporary good graces, which change weekly. Expect moving goalposts, inconsistent priorities, and a culture that rewards compliance over competence. Collaboration is undermined by internal politics and manufactured division. It’s a workplace defined more by fear and manipulation than by accountability or trust.

Pros

Good benefits and broad range tasks. Advancement is there if you suck up.

Cons

No work/life balance. No policies, leadership will stab you in the back at first chance. Only care about people on the dev team. They offer rewards only to members on the dev team. Offer stock but change value at will making them worthless.
