Pros

Solar has a great work life balance and the employees are friendly. It is easy to move around to try new jobs out.

Cons

In the past 5 years, it has become quite bureaucratic with lots of red tape that prevents employees from feeling empowered to get things done. From top leadership down to middle management, there is not cohesive vision on where the company needs to grow and it is in danger of becoming stagnant and vulnerable.
