Pros

Stable job. You do your job and live your life. It all depends on your department. Some departments put in a 8-9 hour day while others, like the business and economic side are worked harder.

Cons

Runs old fashioned and not very innovative company, even though they say they are. Would rather bring new upper management instead of internal promoting. Not a bad place to work, but you should really enjoy solar to enjoy your time there.

Pros

People are passionate about solar and renewable energy. You will encounter a few smart, energetic people who truly care about solar energy. There are a handful of well-managed teams that you will likely be pleasantly surprised about how much you like working there.

Cons

Contained chaos. Long hours are standard and working weekends and holidays is expected. SunPower believes in hiring the elite who have elitist attitudes…probably not the best way to understand what the masses want.
