Pros

Some smart dedicated employees, decent pay.

Cons

The CEO has too much control over everything. He even controls shareholder votes by irrevocable proxy, so he can not be held accountable.

Pros

Money 10hr shifts for 4 days and have Friday to sat off. Diverse work crew Work long and hard enough and you might get promoted, up to 3 levels above within 1-3 years.

Cons

Only one shift. No flexibility. Managers don't do much but micro manage certain people. 1 week worth of PTO per year and you're most likely going to use it on the 2 week company break during Christmas. No sick days Overall really boring.

Pros

I don’t agree with the negative reviews on this forum. It seems some disgruntled employees are venting out. Bloom is one the best manufacturing and engineering company that I know of. I worked in Bloom for over 10 years. Bloom has a good culture, caring people, and modern IT systems. Bloom was IOT enabled even before the acronym became a buzzword. At Bloom, we put in the best of the systems and processes even with limited resources and budgets. IT leaders encourage their teams to work on multiple projects and tools, share knowledge, upgrade their skill sets while staying laser focussed on customer satisfaction. IT applications team was one of the best I ever worked. Leads within the group are very supportive and knowledgeable. A small team wears many hats and provides global support 24x7. People are cared for and provided a good work-life balance. Team members are business savvy and are always eager to help. I wish I can build a similar culture and team in my present company. PROS: Good product, great work-life balance and provides opportunities to train and upgrade skill set.

Cons

CONS: Top-heavy with lots of churning of senior leaders is a concern for mid and junior-level employees. 401K matching would be good.
