The way I describe working here to other is "Of all the corporate overlords, Sunrun is a fantastic one to work for." Other than some previous toxicity (which has since been purged) at a branch level in a previous role, my experience has been absolutely positive.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
I've said in the past that of the "corporate overlords", Sunrun seems like one of the best. That hasn't necessarily rung true as much since Lynn stepped down, but it is still a solid place to work and I'm certainly not UNhappy.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Freedom Time Off and the ESPP
What makes you most happy at work?
Learning new things, which seems to happen often in my position.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
The best thing about the leadership team is the clear commitment to a work/life balance.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Everyone tends to be pro "greater good" in the world. Which makes sense for a renewable energy company.
What are some of the best things about your team?
My coworkers tend to be interesting people with great attitudes. Also incredibly intelligent and always willing to lend a hand and share their expertise.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The camaraderie amongst the team and willingness to step in and help support each other through challenging situations, even outside one's own job description.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The health care plan is pretty great, but the ESPP program is legitimately what kept me at the company when I was considering other opportunities.
What are some of the best things about your team?
The whole team is consistently striving for the same goal and, at least on my team specifically(AEE/SnapNrack), there does not seem to be any of the typical "workplace politics."
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
A bit too much focus on numbers, metrics, and profit alone since 2021-ish and less focus and care about the "boots on the ground" folks on the operational side. Leadership making regular visits to experience the actual WORK being done would certainly help with perspective and high level decisions.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
I feel kind of neutral about leadership these days, it feels like it was better when we had a Founder CEO. The "intangibles" regarding the culture seemed fuller and richer under Lynn. Since the switch things feel more corporatized and focused on numbers, though it seems to be improving a bit lately.
