Pros
The best reason to work here was to understand why it was so important to leave that culture as soon as possible.
Cons
Upper management holds contests for employees to post positive reviews to Glassdoor in exchange for the opportunity to win a prize (i.e. iPad). Why else do you think you see so many positive reviews? This is the worst company I've ever worked for. Departments are created and then disbanded frequently. There is no company-wide communication, so it's difficult to know what procedures have been changed overnight (literally). Customer service is awful, in part because the employees are left in the dark about what's going on. How are they supposed to then help a customer? They can't. Lay offs are common, especially to push out employees that are individual thinkers. SolarCity is more like a cult than anything else. If you show signs that you don't 100% buy into the cult mentality, they will find a way to get rid of you. Upper management is a good old boys club and they love to waste money - unnecessary travel, lavish dinners, leasing Teslas for their favorite employees, etc. There's no stability, no sense of employee worth, and a culture of "do what I say, not what I do". In 2 years, my supervisor changed 8 times and my position was changed 6 times. This company make it very clear what I will not tolerate from an employer. I'm a successful and ethical employee, not a piece of garbage. The biggest take away from my review - Do not work here. It may sound attractive, but it's just to rope you in and then it all changes once you're officially an employee.
