Pros

It's the best shop that I've worked at thus far in terms of a balance between meaningful work, compensation, opportunity, and good leadership.

Cons

There's a lot of inefficiency and tech debt. While there are plenty of great folks both in senior leadership as well as lower levels, there's also a fair number of people who make things harder for the high performers. Greater economic conditions impacting the solar industry are not great right now, but I'm optimistic on the company's ability to thrive again through it.

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.
