This is not a very promising work place.

Pros

The only pro to working here is that I live 5 minutes away so I can ride my bike in the spring.

Cons

The hours are horrible, middle and upper management are foolish and snobby, no competitive wages, managers lie and tell you what you want to here in order to use you to their benefit, and lastly, they use a contracting company to hire workers which is awful to deal with.

Pros

Pros are there only if you are white in Human Resources department

Cons

Human Resources department who are the gate keepers of policies are more biased, racist and Favoritism exits at heights.. The leadership only valises if you are white.. Your talent has no value.. no matter how much you contribute and be a highest contributor if you are not white or if you are not in favorite list of VPs you can be easily terminated. They’ll make life a hell.. Invasion of privacy.. CHRO peeks into the mobile of the HR department employees..

Bloom Energy Response

Last week was a difficult week with headcount reductions impacting the HR team. I recognize the difficulty and frustration that you are experiencing and will assist in any way that I can if you choose to reach out to me directly. All decisions were made based on roles and some amazing team members were impacted A few points that must be addressed. Despite difficult actions taken, HR remains one of the most diverse groups in Bloom, which I take tremendous pride in. Secondly, we have no way to track nor see anyone's mobile devices. I do appreciate and respect how you feel. Again, feel free to contact me directly if I can help. -Sonja Wilkerson, EVP, Chief People Officer

Pros

Friendly colleagues. Interesting technology.

Cons

Too many departments and managers, with lack of communications between each departments. Manager favors certain employees. Performance review is based on how well your manager likes you, and not by the work you did.
