Bloom Energy reviews

-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
