Pros

The mission is the only pro. Others have written about benefits (they are average), unlimited PTO (it is not - check the policy and in any case it is not unlimited if you cannot get time off approved). Many good people but the best were laid off or have left. All that is left are the rats hoping the ship does not sink.

Cons

Where to start - Cancerous and incompetent CEO; top-heavy leadership (too many C and VP level folks to count and all make BANK when others do not); goals are wholly unrealistic; HR does not care and is useless (pay is not good, bonuses not paid, promotions have no guidelines and are given to good-ol-boys who drink with managers), processes are borken, "technology" solutions do not work, and no one knows what is going on. Teams do not talk with one another and in some cases work against one anoehter. Seriously, the place is a s**t show.

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.
