Vantaggi
Great technology, smart people, one of very few innovative solar manufacturing companies left, compared to the many chinese commodity product suppliers. Financially stable, due to parent company Total.
Svantaggi
As the solar market has become more volatile and tougher to succeed, SunPower has come to be viewed as a safe haven. This unfortunately means that more and more politicised people are joining, seeing the company as a nice place to hide. Lots of new VPs and Directors over the last 2 years....no interest in putting the company first, it's all about them keeping their job and boosting their profile. Unfortunately, this approach is endorsed/supported by the execs who seem scared to hire any senior managers who would challenge them for the benefit of the company. Oh, and the work hours are very long - often due to having to manage global timezones.
