      Violation Of Visa Rules By Indians

      Anonymous employee

      Pros

      Everyone works hard but they don't know what they are doing. If you are trying to join this company, you should talk to the engineers here. They are frustrated and they all hate the management including their CEO!

      Cons

      Bloom Energy is the port of entry to U.S. for Indians. I always heard rumors about companies violating the visa rules until I experienced it here. Every time we asked for resources they transferred the projects to India and hired there, if we wanted to hire here we had to bring someone from India or move someone from there. After that the company applies for their green cards with fake job postings on the Bloom Energy website so they could show that they tried. Many of the postings today are fake. They never send the resumes to the hiring manager or even tell them about the openings. I do not have a problem with Indians. The problem is the brotherhood among them. You see this favoritism over race in site installation group, engineering, operation and pretty much the entire company. I couldn't handle it anymore. If you are not Indian, don't apply here.

      Poor Management/No structure

      Staff engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Relatively chill work life balance

      Cons

      - 20 sth years old start up that is still not profitable and is trying to become one by deceit and poorly handling employees - Low diversity. Old employees who have been there since the start of the company are untouchable and they will be always having the power even if they would be unprofessional (mostly from the same motherland and connected together culturally). Old employees almost do nothing and their only skill is knowing the Fuel System products and architecture - No structure for reviewing managers and higher managers - Their sole product has a lot of issues and the company is not confident enough to fix those as it will hinder them from selling and getting profitable - CEO and most of VPs almost respect-less towards employees - They only publish news when it is positive. They never share several rounds of lay offs that they had. - Five days in person with no sick day and less than 10 days PTO (they force the 3-4 days PTO on you during Christmas) - No possibility of remote work - A lot of discrimination and favoritism (very obviously implemented) - No new feasible products in years - No connection (all major managers and employees have been in the company for years and are untouchable and cannot even help you with connections unless you aim to stay at the company forever) - No place to grow cause the initial core old employees will always stay in the company till retirement. New employees only in the best scenario become low level technical managers exceptionally … Company grew fast but started laying off. The hierarchy does not grow that much.

      Pros

      Some good people, it is very difficult to find pros in a company so disorganized and backwards with the way they treat people and run the organization.

      Cons

      Way too many cons for this review. Management is a joke. They do not care about the company only their own interests. Green energy is a scam, they produce toxic waste ( benzene). Their mission statement is a lie. Only big businesses use bloom fuel cells so they can cash in off of green energy government tax credits. The company is full of backstabbers, you will not get far from hard work and dedication, you will only succeed if you brown nose management. Positive thinking to the point of denial, egos are way too big ams way under deserved. Under qualified people doing qualified jobs. They are a corrupt business, google bloom law suits, they have no intentions of keeping there promises to the state of delaware. They need to work on clean ethics instead of clean energy. Trump is going to destroy them, and karma is coming for certain people there
