Pros

- Solar is great for the planet - Chance to work with colleagues all over the world - I worked with some great people - Nice office space in Walnut Creek, CA (pre-pandemic) - Benefits are generally good

Cons

- Most important decisions are made at headquarters, which means China - Lots of turnover recently - Salaries are uneven but generally low - Solar industry is notoriously cyclical (they call it the "solar coaster")

Pros

Pay is competitive and always on time production bonuses are generally once a month for at least 800 to 1500.

Cons

Unprofessional upper management staff and supporting staff. HR are their puppets and do not stand for employees.
