Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at SolarCity full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Access to rooftops and good views.
Cons
Anything less than a 12 hr day was a non-option. More hours were allowed, but considering that driving back is part of the job, its a wonder that more accidents didn't happen due to fatigue.
Advice to Management
Allow the option of a 10 hr daily cap. Don't structure the company for employee burnout and high turnover.
