Vantaggi
The best reason to work for SolarCity is that the product is actually pretty darn good. Affordable, clean solar energy. Good software and support tools to work with. Full benefits and a company car.
Svantaggi
As my review title says, working for SolarCity is a meat grinder. They LOVE to pump the Kool-Aid to their employees about "work/life balance," but the fact of the matter is, you're working CONSTANTLY, and the pressure and hassle is almost unrelenting. Want to spend weekends, or even just Sundays with your family? Maybe take an actual vacation? If you're not way above quota, forget about it. It's important to note that of the thousands of people who sell for this company in the Southern California area, there's probably less than a dozen who have managed to stay there for longer than 4 or 5 years. What does that tell you about the way they treat their employees?
