Pros

Bloom Energy pay rates are very good, from the top down. Bloom energy cover 100% of Permanent employees benefits. Growth in the company is achievable Permanent Senior Engineers and upper management enjoy working for the company.

Cons

As the company grows pay rates and benefits are decreasing. 80+ hour Mon-Sun work weeks are at times demanded/ while at other times workers are laid off when work is minimal. Poor planning and organization equals very unstable schedules. Contractors make up a majority of the workforce and are treated poorly, told to work 12-14 hour days and are easily replaceable. Bloom Energy is behind in its planed progress.
