I was contacted by a recruiter via phone and we chatted about the role. While not actively pursuing an opportunity, I decided to move onto the initial standard HR phone screen that was set up for a few days later. From the HR phone screen, I was also impressed with the friendliness and professionalism of the Bloom Energy staff. Following the HR screen, I moved onto two lengthy phone interviews with two ViPs. I was then invited out to the Sunnyvale HQ for a day of back-to-back interviews and a tour of the facility. I was flattered and impressed with the time many of the firm's senior executives spent with me that day. There were nine in total, which was a little tiring, but was a great experience nonetheless. Overall, I had a very positive interviewing and recruitment experience with Bloom. Most important, I was struck by how friendliness and professionalism of their employees. However, I ultimately declined their offer due to what I thought was a pretty big mismatch between the quality/caliber of candidate they sought for the role and the commensurate compensation package they offered.
