Bloomfire interview questions

Interview process was a phone screen followed by a panel interview with several members of the sales team followed by a call extending and offer. It was fairly informal throughout and felt as much about me meeting the team as it was about then meeting me.

The interview began with a technical phone screen, went to a take-home exam, and ended with a virtual onsite. The interviewers were not prepared, rude, struggled to communicate/convey technical concepts, and seemed to lack much industry experience. After about an hour of them struggling, the final round was abruptly cut off. I withdrew before knowing the outcome of the interview. Overall, I'd say if you have any talent as an engineer that you'd be better served by applying elsewhere. It's an unknown startup with less than .02% market share that effectively collects other businesses' intellectual property, internal company info, docs, memos, etc. - not the scammiest place out there but probably not the most reputable. Seemed to lack any industry experience with security or privacy concepts. Again, would avoid if possible.
