Pros

The employment benefits are plentiful, the security and health benefits are a plus. Continous training and job opportunities in different roles

Cons

Most opportunities are limited to non-administrative roles. Working climate is very outdated. IT products for managing administrative positions are almost non existant.

Pros

Once a great company that would allow you room for advancement and exposure to learn different areas of the business. There are plenty of opportunities for international exposure with front line customer experience to help build your professional portfolio. Overall Solar has a good product with good customers. Although Solar is very Oil & Gas based they are starting to become more and more active in the Power Generation space.

Cons

To be blunt, too much politics and nepotism at the management levels. Pay increases and promotions can be quite stagnant unless you're in the inner circle who rotate management positions every 2-3 years. This has created a self driven culture that is now focused on 'checking the box' enabling your next position in 2 years time instead of developing your team.
