Pros

People are passionate about solar and renewable energy. You will encounter a few smart, energetic people who truly care about solar energy. There are a handful of well-managed teams that you will likely be pleasantly surprised about how much you like working there.

Cons

Contained chaos. Long hours are standard and working weekends and holidays is expected. SunPower believes in hiring the elite who have elitist attitudes…probably not the best way to understand what the masses want.

Pros

The people at SunPower/BlueRaven were some of the funnest people to work with. I built a lot of great relationships there.

Cons

When SunPower was purchased by TJ Rodgers, he came in and was telling everyone how he was going to turn the whole company around and that "because he's a billionaire he knows how to make it happen" -- Well.. over the span of about a year he laid off about 70% of the company and tried to make other independent contractors so he didnt have to give them a base. The whole company dynamic changed and I now have yet to speak to any former colleagues who enjoyed being there. - Its very toxic now.
