Pros

4 day work week and health insurance

Cons

Management treats you like crap, rates you based on your compliance (you better not voice an opinion or call out any wrongs you notice or you’re viewed as a problem), not your ability. Also cancer dust! The entire place is just filled with silica dust that infiltrates EVERYTHING. It causes breathing issues and sinus infections. It is literally everywhere. And no it isn’t safe, regardless of what they say.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The industrial hygiene testing Bloom has performed to date demonstrates no employee is exposed to any substance in excess of any relevant health risk threshold where required controls are in place. All employees are required to wear the appropriate PPE in all areas. Bloom Energy maintains a healthy, safe and productive work environment. We encourage you to report any misconduct to your manager, Human Resources, or the Bloom Energy Helpline. Thank you.

Pros

-Smart people -Innovative Technology -Dynamic

Cons

-Company acts like a startup but not in good way. Priorities are constantly shifting but in a way that often feels directionless -Rigid and old school culture. 5 days a week RTO mandate. However at the same time excecutives will consistently schedule regular meetings outside of business hours. Which is it? If you want employees to be flexible with their time, you should allow them flexibility. Also understand that the Bay Area is exorbitantly expensive and not everyone lives close to the office. Most other companies in the area are either hybrid OR pay significantly more than Bloom 3) Maternity leave policy is quite paltry compared to similar local companies. Probably because the company is run by middle aged men, and HR is spineless. Between this and the inflexibility, consider the culture if you are a younger woman who has is or is thinking about having children. It may work for you if you’re a man over the age of 45 with minimal responsibilities outside the office 4) Career trajectory for younger employees is limited. Few growth opportunities - maybe that will change as the market improves
