Pros
A solid group of respectful, fun, and genuinely kind people that make working here amazing. The company is experiencing incredible growth which means the opportunities to challenge yourself come very often which make for an intellectually stimulating environment for creative & resourceful problem solvers. A truly balanced and understanding workplace environment that understands that life outside of Soligent exists and your peers show genuine support of you. No guilt/shame in taking time out to go see the doctor. No gender biases - it’s been mentioned in several reviews that there is a “bro culture” here - I have not experienced this & feel that gender has been irrelevant to people progressing in their careers. Crossing industries - I came to Soligent with zero industry knowledge, but was quickly able to apply my skills and experience from other industries and felt many best practices were still relevant despite the specifics of being within solar. The CEO is intelligent and more importantly, humble. He does not wield his authority arbitrarily & makes collaboration a priority. He’s an admitted work in progress which makes working for/with him a privilege.
Cons
Executive team is slow to make difficult/critical decisions. At times, getting their buy in requires everyone to sign off which hinges on each persons jam packed schedules & too much time passes between when the need for a decision has surfaced to when we finally make the decision. Reliable & accurate data, tools, and reporting have been a major pain point in being able to do the job well. They’ve done a few hires recently that is healing this pain point - but this is currently a real struggle.
