It's not always easy navigating in a work environment when your primary, or first language isn't the norm. During this conversation we'll explore the daily challenges that come with having english as a 2nd language at Sunrun. From not being asked to present during team meetings, or given assignments that don't involve customer contact, we'll discuss how we may inadvertently be expressing biased behavior towards our teammates.

Company Culture

Since early 2020, we’ve all experienced radical change. Some of us abruptly left offices to work from home while many continued to support customers in the field but in a different way due to social distancing and wearing masks. Nothing felt normal!

Since then, we’ve combined two full companies, welcomed new team members, redesigned many systems, processes, and teams, and welcomed a new CEO.

The Company culture we once knew has changed. In this conversation, we’ll reflect on what we loved about our company cultures pre-acquisition, what we’ve learned in the last year, and what we hope our new combined culture will look like as we move forward as a unified company.
