Interviewed Jun 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
Be very careful when interviewing with this company. You'll probably get an offer after taking a short online quiz, but the salesforce is routinely "axed" and then rebuilt. The product is decent but there is a lot of competition for just network monitoring.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took a day)
This was seriously the weirdest interviewing experience I have EVER undergone. I submitted my resume online, and received a call the next day from the "VP of Sales". Well, actually, that person was also the CEO, CIO and pretty much anything else he deems himself--but I didn't know that at the time.
This "interview" took place over the phone at about 9PM on a Sunday night, due to the interviewer being located in Asia. It consisted largely of him repeating stuff that's on the website and trying to sell me on the company. I don't recall him asking me even the first question. That already had my weirdo-radar tingling, and then he blows me out of the water with this golden nugget: the first 90 days, sales people are paid $xxx a day. Then the next 90 days is paid at half that amount, the assumption being that you'd have a pipeline by then.
The "pay per day" business really threw me for a loop. What is this, McDonald's? He went on to explain that they have "online training" which I would be expected to complete, and that it should take 20 or so hours to master the material, then I'd have to pass a test at the end. I dutifully took down the login information, if nothing else, because I was curious. When I looked at this "training", I had to laugh. It was stuff ANY first year inside sales person would know cold, and frankly I found it a little insulting. I very nearly took the test that same night he called me (which by the way was a Sunday, well after business hours) just to make a point, but I figured that was rude.
The second I got off the phone, I came here to Glassdoor and got an earful. All the truthful comments on this site really clarified and confirmed the weird vibes I had gotten, and helped me decide quite promptly that this place wasn't for me.
Reason for Declining
I thought he was joking about the comp plan and "structure" of the company.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a Skills Test.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 4 days)
Sent off a resume and took the auto-mailed test on the same day, right before bed. Got an email from the CTO minutes later asking if I was still up since he's in Hong Kong. All the calls were late at night, but it was pretty straight-forward and personal. Everyone I spoke with was very nice and down-to-earth, and I especially enjoyed my talk with their CEO. Really, it was the four people I spoke to who convinced me to take the job.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
The CTO in the initial call brought up salary and I listed my range. It was a little higher than their range, but the commission and the opportunities for writing knowledge base articles pushed them over the top. Besides, I love travel and I consider that a big bonus.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test and a Skills Test.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
Office was smaller than expected. Felt tense.
Interview was good and personal with lots of technical questions.
No offer made, mainly because the amount of travel expected was going to be a problem.
