Pros

There are no Pros for working at Bloom Energy.

Cons

The new IT leadership that is run by Mrs. Poole and Mr. Patel uses intimidation tactics and negative reinforcement to get their way. Employees have no say so whatsoever and are constantly harassed about doing more work. There is no work life balance. The expectation is to work you extremely hard and not have a care in the world for your wellbeing. Mr. Patel also has a bad habit of talking about his subordinates to their peers. Mrs. Poole uses fowl language and is very unprofessional during one on one meetings and fail to take feedback which is a extremely important quality that all leaders must have. Not recommended for anyone for a job.

Pros

A mature start up feel. No two days are the same, lots of interesting projects to work on and given the opportunity to have an impact The people are a highlight. Teams are collaborative, driven, and full of smart individuals who are genuinely invested in what they’re building. There’s a strong sense of ownership, and you’re given the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way regardless of level.

Cons

There really are not any major cons so far. It is 5 days in office. And whilst I am local and enjoy coming in a little flexibility would be nice. That said there's a great gym, good restaurant and free EV charging so I like being here!
