Everlight Solar

The best part about working at Everlight is also probably the first thing that you'll notice about the company - even during the interview process - and that is the collective commitment.  Every company has a philosophy, but Everlight's philosophy is taken as gospel. It pervades day-to-day work just as much as the overarching goals of the organization, and every person at the company is all in on it. The amount of buy-in is unlike anything I've seen in a workplace, and it paves the way for a massive amount of productivity with a fantastic culture. 

From top to bottom, Everlight places an insane amount of emphasis on models and systems to ensure that they are at the top of their field, without letting anything slip through the cracks. Transparency is a massive tenant of their philosophy- Slack messages, Calendars, Zoom meetings, Jira boards... everybody knows what everybody else is working on at all times. The management is clear with expectations, and insists on honest feedback (they have a thick skin too). The level of granularity on documenting/reviewing every step of the development cycle can bottleneck projects at times, but the result is a stable tech stack that everyone can understand.

I have never been asked so many personality/character-oriented questions in an interview process, but the result is a pure workforce of intelligent, positive, friendly, and engaging people. You'll be put on the spot, asked to speak in front of your peers, and expected to engage, so being comfortable with yourself is important. It's a tight knit group of people, but if you're able to be authentic it's extremely inclusive.

If you want a job at a place that holds you to a high standard but rewards hard work, this is the place for you. It's very much a meritocracy, so if you're looking for a cushy remote job you probably won't get very far. But, if you're motivated to build something great, - whether it be for environmental reasons or otherwise - Everlight will do more than just support you, they will forcibly grow your career.

You need to have some humility, the 'gunslinger' attitude will not fly. You need to be willing to learn, and relearn. If you're able to apply your ability within the context of their philosophy, the sky's the limit.

My favorite aspect of working at Everlight is how much the company invests in its people. Although we maintain a relentless pace, I've always felt immensely supported by both management and my coworkers. Beyond daily team meetings, we also have weekly one-on-ones with management, weekly company-wide culture-boosting meetings, and frequent performance reviews. All of this serves to create an incredibly cohesive working environment, where everyone can feel confident in their role on the team. Real positivity like the kind fostered at Everlight is infectious, and everyone is eager to push the bar higher. Best of all, management is every bit as invested in improving their own strategies as they are yours — feedback goes both ways, and they're always looking to learn how best to support us and create an indomitable team.

I've learned a great deal in my time at Everlight. Our thoughtful structures and practices have enabled me to work highly effectively on a fully-remote team. A key component to this success is our commitment to transparency — almost all communication within each team is done publicly, so that team members stay up-to-date on each others' progress and challenges. This ensures collaboration and support form the foundation of our process, every day. I've also learned a great deal through our company reading list — as a team, we read and discuss important books on tech, business, and self-improvement. This is another way in which Everlight is investing in the long-term success of its people, both inside and outside of traditional work metrics. We're not just looking at next quarter, we're taking a wide, far-reaching perspective of what it means to be truly successful, and we're building a culture with those lessons at the forefront.

You'll love working at Everlight if you are ambitious, teachable, positive, present, and relentless in pursuit of your goals. They expect great things from you, but more importantly, they've created a culture in which you come to expect great things from yourself.

Everlight is truly the best company that I've been a part of. Their values are listed on their website and every single day you can feel the values being embodied by your colleagues and supervisors. If you read those values and feel strongly about them in your day-to-day life, if you're hungry to learn from others on a daily basis while also brainstorming on how to make your work better and easier, and if you're someone who is positively-minded and likes to be surrounded by other positively-minded people, then Everlight is a great place for you.
Since day one on the job, I was welcomed with open arms into a TEAM that works together every day to make the work we do simpler, more productive, and enjoyable. We're always receiving feedback on the work that we're doing and our feedback is ALWAYS taken into consideration and valued by superiors no matter your position, even if you're brand new to the company (one of my favorite parts of Everlight). Within my first few months of working at Everlight, me and the other new employees were added to a meeting with the co-founder, where he took the time to explain where the company started, his dreams for the company, and numerous stories about its origin. I haven't known many co-founders that go through those lengths to make the company feel like a family, even when it is growing to a larger size. We have remote game nights, fun get-to-know-you questions in our daily team meetings, and weekly one-on-one meetings with our team lead talking about life updates and how you're feeling about your work load. I have truly never had a company actually care about me as a person like Everlight does and I am so thankful to be a part of a family work environment where I am valued. 

When looking for a new job, the one thing I really craved and was hoping for was lots of structure in my new workplace, and to avoid toxic leadership at all costs. Everlight has exceeded my hopes and expectations for that. 

I've learned about the Solar industry, how different teams in different divisions work toward common goals in a bigger company, and hands-on technical skill at an insanely fast pace, but none of it has felt chaotic - it has all been organized, structured and very clearly communicated to me.

If you are not someone who enjoys pretty radical transparency about your work, and a fast-paced and highly motivated environment, this wouldn't be the place for you. It's clear that Everlight truly chooses only the most motivated, engaged, willing-to-learn employees in every division - every employee I've interacted with has that quality about them. The leadership are all humans that are both down to earth, yet hold you to a high standard in a good way - they push you to be the best you that you can be.

For my job in particular, too, the ability to work wherever I want for the day by being remote is truly a blessing. My personal life has drastically improved in this regard. Everyone on the team is humans and has real life things to do outside of work - the team has been super understanding and accommodating.


As I mentioned above, only motivated and hungry people work here, truly. If you struggle with staying motivated/on task/fear having very direct feedback, you will not thrive in this environment.

For working on the tech team specifically, you have to be able to respond quickly and be ready to troubleshoot issues in a timely fashion, and sometimes that goes outside of working hours. This isn't a bad thing, per se, but it just might not fit into your lifestyle.

I have never been so proud to say I work for a company/business like I have with Everlight Solar! There are so many good things to say, but my favorite has to be the empowering and positive culture that's evident even on your first day. Management and supervisors are so supportive of you both professionally and personally, they all truly care about your growth and development of the two equally. The training was outstanding and allowed me to learn and catch on so simply and quickly with everything. I also really appreciate how even as a remote employee, everything is still so personal with our weekly 1-on-1s and company-wide meetings, as well as our daily team meetings. At Everlight, I've already learned how awesome it is to work for a company that genuinely bets on YOU both in and outside of work. You can always ask for help and are encouraged to do so anytime, and feedback is truly a two-way street all the way up to leadership. The core values here are so ingrained in each and every person and the culture is the very proof of it. Oh, and game nights and a company book club? You'll love it here if you are looking for a rewarding job, a company with an amazing mission, and a fun, motivating, and all-around awesome work environment. I always hoped and dreamed to work for a company like this and Everlight has already been all I've ever wanted and more. I always look forward to work every single day– trust me, companies like this do exist!

Overall, Everlight Solar has an amazing company culture and is sure to make you feel included. The workplace is very open and not extremely formal, but this doesn't mean the work is easy, because that's far from the truth. The challenge is what makes the work enjoyable and the people more fun to be around. Everyone growing alongside each other both professionally as well as individually is what truly makes Everlight an awesome place to work at. If you are social and are looking for a positive environment to be apart of, Everlight Solar is perfect. Truly a positive environment, I cannot put enough emphasis on how positive the people and atmosphere is here. I would say that's my favorite part of working here is that everything is so positive, even while being challenging. I've learned many valuable skills that translate not only to my professional career but also to my personal growth. Overall, Everlight Solar is an extremely positive and challenging place to work at. If you enjoy challenging yourself everyday to become better both professionally and casually, while being surrounded by positive individuals, this is definitely the place for you. One thing I would say is that the pay could be slightly better, but there is plently of room for growth, advancement, and eventually pay raise, so this can only be an "issue" at the beginning. 

I love my job with Everlight Solar and I can confidently say that I haven't met any co-workers that disagree. Even being in a remote position I feel so close and supported by my team and that I can ask anyone for questions. My day is flexible and I have plenty of time to get my tasks done. There's no micromanaging, there's no hostility, and best of all, there is no doubt in my mind that I am working for a company that truly appreciates all of its workers and will look for every possible opportunities to help you grow and advance. The culture is seriously a match made in heaven for me and I wake up every day incredibly excited to work, which is completely brand new to me. Its such a fun and open place to work and there truly isn't anything about my job that I've found hard because of all the support from my team. You can shut off your phone, notifications, all of it as soon as you're done and don't expect you to work off the clock. I could speak ages about the management. You can request a meeting with anyone there and they fit you into their schedule best they can. It's easy to ask for days off and not at all intimidating. I just couldn't be MORE happy with this company and could say a million things about it. We have a long hiring process, it's true. But, every second is worth it cause you'll see once you're in, just why we care so much. 

I worked for Everlight for 1 year and it has now been about 1 year since I left. Looking back upon my time here, there are so many things that I miss about it. First thing is the people and culture. Everlight only hires the best, and when you work here you will truly feel surrounded by exceptional and awesome people. Secondly, the workflow and systems that they use are the best in the industry. They constantly strive for improvement in those systems (Aurora, Slack, etc) and proactively train their employees to use those systems to their full potential. I also massively appreciated that they were willing to train me on those systems as a newbie to the industry. They are willing to build people up and offer opportunities to those that want to advance in their position and excel. I miss working here all the time, and I can't say that for any other job that I've ever had! 

When I was applying to Everlight, I had my doubts about many of the raving reviews from employees. Surely nobody can be that excited to go to work, right? Nope! Looking back, I can't believe how wrong I was.

From my first interview I knew Everlight was going to be a company that valued the skills I brought to the table, and was interested in helping me to develop those skills. Everyone I've had the pleasure of meeting at Everlight has been a joy to work alongside and to spend time with on the basketball court after the day's work.

All of my interactions with management and the company's executives have been positive and inspiring, and I'm excited to be a part of the continued growth of this company! 

If, like me, you're reading these reviews and think that Everlight might sound too good to even be real, I challenge you to take a chance and apply. You won't regret it. Everlight is a great place to work for anyone who is passionate about their work and willing to do what needs to be done, even if it challenges them. 

If you want to feel fulfilled with your job, work for Everlight. It's as easy as that. 
 

If you want all the efficiency of corporate combined with the innovative, family feel of a start-up, Everlight is a great place to work. There's a perfect balance between supervisors making sure you're busy, and leaving you to handle your work. From what I've seen there is no set work schedule; as long as you attend your meetings, put in your hours and are available if someone needs you, you're trusted to get your work done. 
There is a huge focus by management on investing in employees as individuals, and setting them up for advancement within the company. I've learned a lot about solar panels and their value, as well as how to use programs like Salesforce. 
If you care about the purpose of the company you work for and want to work with good people, this is a great place to be. If you're trying to make a buck and clock out, it's probably not a good fit. 
The culture seems intense at first, but once you've gotten through training it settles a bit.  It's easy to see what a great environment is created by starting everyone off on the same page.
