Pros

Great work environment, fun, exciting and good people, and promotes from within. Growing fast and is expected to go public soon.

Cons

Too much politics and micro management. Employees are promoted to be managers with no manager experience and no manager training. There is room for advancement but there are not very many options. There are a ton of entry level positions and management level positions but there are not many positions in between which makes it difficult to advance.

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.
