Exciting technical problems, mediocre mid-level managers - Staff Engineer Bloom Energy Employee Review

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.

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!

Great technology and programs in place when utilize correctly. I’m really digging deep trying to find the positives, but it’s hard.

No leadership or direction you can never find a supervisor or a lead when you have a problem, no air-conditioning in half of the warehouse where all the employees actually work it’s actually the other side that’s currently being remodeled for another production line that has air-conditioning, you are led to believe this is a great company to grow with and at but you quickly realize it is actually the complete opposite of everything they tell you in training, no one pays any attention to what is going on so if you are a good hard worker that shows up on time everyday, ready to work and you cannot because the tools to do your job are missing and you have to spend the next hour looking for someone to tell it easily gets overlooked and old real fast. They have three job recruitment agencies on site with 4 time clocks all right next to each other so clocking in and out is torture. They also seem to have a rodent problem because there are mice in the locker room eating the lunch/food we bring. Between the dust, free flow chemicals, and fiberglass particles that are everywhere in there and get all over everything so naturally I was shocked when I blow my nose and it’s all black and grey snot that comes out.
