No company is perfect. I chose to come here because I believe in what is possible for Sunrun. Sadly right now, "leadership" opinions overshadow our actual prospects and customers needs/wants. Many try to be customer obsessed and propose solutions and they very rarely are listened to.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Sunrun does a really great job focusing on inclusivity and mental health.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
This company has hired really great people who are experts in their respective areas however VP-C-Suite level executives don't support them. Often bulldozing and incredibly disconnected to the actual work involved. These leaders need to trust their teams rather than defeat them.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I am a manager who makes less than one of my contracted direct reports. I asked for an adjustment and was told no. I was then told I would eventually get a promotion, but the salary is still lower than my direct report and under market value.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Misalignment in leadership makes it very difficult to get the right work done well. Creates a lot of conflicting priorities with no clear direction. So often, the bare minimum, worst version of something is completed and we never have time to go back to do it the right way.
What are some of the best things about your team?
My team is incredible. We are led by one of the only leaders in the company who continues to prove they not only encourage us, but trust us. We make decisions as a group and base them on results instead of opinions. The company as a whole could do more of that, so we are leading the charge.
