Bloom Energy interview questions

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.

Very unprofessional process. Two separate recruiters contacted me to set up an interview, showing obvious lack of communication. Went through 4 phone interviews and 2 onsite. First onsite interview resulted in one of 3 interviewers not being present. The second onsite was supposed to be with 6 people total, of which 3 were did not show. Once again, very indicative of a lack of internal communication. After being told I was going to meet with the executives that missed the 2nd onsite interview I was then told they were making an offer to another candidate who was referred internally. Extreme waste of my time considering I had to meet them onsite during my normal working hours. I can only imagine the experience of those that work on the inside. I highly recommend you review the overall score this company has on Glassdoor, I'm sure it's extremely low for a good reason.
