Pros
SolarCity has given me the opportunity to work my way from a 12$/hr grunt to an overpaid engineer capable of making more than my parents. The people who work at this company make the office an experience one that I look forward to being a part of each day. EVERYONE I have worked with is caring, funny, laid back, and always willing to lend a hand.
Cons
SolarCity, like most startups and quickly growing companies, hires eager young employees and asks them to work tirelessly to stretch the compensation provided. By this I mean young people work harder and longer and for less. This is the target employee base for this company. In my opinion, this makes for a better workplace though, as I am one of those people who likes to work hard!
