Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
I applied online for the position. They contacted me to set up an interview in their offices in downtown San Francisco. It was a video interview, so I was nervous about it more than a phone interview. The lady who interviewed me was very professional. She asked me several questions about my sales techniques.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 2 days)
I sat with and account exec. and a sales manager. The questions were mba type questions to see how I would approach a problem. Nothing to complicated. The people seem really nice and laid back.
I accepted the job and was notified 1 week before my start date that all of the job offers had been rescinded because the company was "changing directions". I had my doubts that maybe the company was teetering a bit figured I would chance it. Reneging on job offers 1 week before a start dates is completely unacceptable. Most jobs wont take a person back. Overall this dealing was incredibly stressful and up to now A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME.
Negotiation Details
I was called in for a FT job and then told that the offer was a contract role...I already have a full time job that pays more than this one (I was trying to make a career change). We settled on full time status but it could have been a huge waste of my time if they stuck to the contract status.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Skills Test.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 3 days)
Referred by a staffing agency. Had a phone call with the recruiter. Was contacted by Bloomspot after they received my resume. Had a 1:1 interview with 2 different people. The first interview was a typical interview... Tell me about yourself, why are you looking for this job? Why sales, etc. The next interview was a mock negotiation where I was given a few minutes to read over the scenario and figure out what I was going to offer the customer and how I would convince them to go with bloomspot.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took a day)
I am still in the process of this - I am reporting on the first step and will share what I learn next. Bloomspot used a company called Readyforce to do the initial interview. I had to apply through Readyforce and answer questions to determine your compatibility where it wasn't 100% sure what the "right" responses were, but for the most part it was fairly easy to decipher what they wanted. I.e. rating how much you like change/not having a routine etc. Apparently my resume/answers meant I was a good enough fit. The next step was a video interview with a Readyforce worker. At the end I remember being asked to pretend I was talking to the founder and having to "sell myself." The interview was super preliminary - they asked me if I had reliable transportation, why I wanted to work for Bloomspot, fairly standard questions. The one weird part was when the interviewer picked out a past position of mine (that was the least sales-y and similar to bloomspot) and said your work at xx seems the most relevant to the position, no? This made me think the Readyforce interviewers aren't very serious/seem to be winging it. The whole thing lasted 10-15 minutes.
