Pros
Fun, energetic environment, with a lot of young talent. The people make are what make the job fun.
Cons
Not a great role if you don’t want to be stuck in a cubical dialing for dollars. Very challenging if you are easily deterred.

Pros
Sungevity started out as an exciting fast-paced growth opportunity. It was doubling in size every year, had many opportunities for advancement, and a great culture.
Cons
As funding dried up the culture took a turn for the worse. Multiple rounds of layoffs and misinformation continually given to employees from leadership left many in a really tough spot. This is NOT the same company it was several years ago.

Pros
Three working atmosphere was brilliant and it was genuinely fun working with people who liked to be at work every day
Cons
Management had almost no clue of what was happening at the customer facing level. A lot of informal channels of communications.
Advice to Management
Strictly documented feedback and communication would have greatly improved productivity
