The truth about...

Pros

Bloom is that working here is like building the plane while you’re flying it and the CEO is trying to crash it. Free parking in San Jose - only some car break-ins in parking lot Mandatory 5 days in the office Not many people work past 5 pm If you are Indian and from a higher caste, you may do well at this company

Cons

Bad management, inability to execute, and toxic work environment from executive leadership team leads to high turnover with entire departments turning over and no knowledge transfer. Layoffs every year with entire functions missing at Bloom that would be required at another public company. No company loyalty towards employees and the compassion difference between the CEO and John Chambers at the fireside chat when discussing layoffs was striking.

Pros

Work is simple and it's easy to slack off and get by if that's what you're looking for.

Cons

Terrible management politics. College degree required, but I've used 0% of my college knowledge in the 8 months I've been here so far. No culture, teamwork, investment in work. Not a good place for ambitious people.

Truly change the world potential, and the people are great.

Cons

When it comes to culture, leadership actions don't reflect their words.
