      Pros

      The people are high quality. The work is fun and people move within the company to provide different roles.

      Cons

      Sometimes the aspect of Solar being completely controlled by caterpillar is less desirable than having it be its own entity.

      Good place to work and grow but stingy with promotions and pay raises

      Pros

      Work life balance and company culture I are great. You can make great friends here. There is a fair bit of freedom at Solar to make each position your own and grow within it. There is a mentor system in place which is great and, in general, it is a fun and challenging place to work. Their “customer first” and “win the right way” approach to doing business is a winning formula as well.

      Cons

      Solar is very stingy with promotions and pay raises. They have in the past used a bell curve approach to giving out raises and promotions and, in general, it is based on years of experience even if you are a stellar performer. You'll get a lot of praise for going above and beyond but that doesn’t usually translate into similarly appropriate pay raises.
