   Average Interview

   Application

   I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Bloomscape (Detroit, MI) in Mar 2022

   Interview

   From the time I applied to Bloomscape through the time they closed the application, it was 10+ weeks from start to finish.
   
   The interview process consisted of 6 different interviews with 8 different people.
   -Round 1: Phone screen with recruiter
   -Round 2: Video interview with hiring manager
   -Round 3: Video interview with 1 team member
   -Round 4: Video interview with 2 team members
   -Round 5: Video interview with 1 team member
   -Round 6: Video interview with 2 team members
   
   Interviews 3-6 all took place within a single week. When I followed up the following week I was told that the position was on hold indefinitely.
   
   I am rating the experience as neutral because there were positives and negatives:
   
   + I liked Bloomscape for the mission and the people. Every person I spoke with was smart, knowledgeable and kind - and I would have enjoyed working with and learning from each of them.
   
   + It was evident the interviewers did their homework and coordinated what they would ask me beforehand. Even with 8 different people that I spoke with I rarely got the same questions twice.
   
   - I didn't like Bloomscape because the messaging was inconsistent. Sometimes the position was needed urgently and had senior management support and budget, and sometimes the position was on-hold due to changing strategic priorities.
   
   - I got the impression that decisions at Bloomscape are made "by committee". LinkedIn shows 47 current employees and I met with 8 of them. So that tells me 17% of their employees were involved in even just this one hiring decision. I have mixed feelings about this. Does this approach indicate a strong need for consensus to move forward? Or, does this indicate that senior management has a lack of trust in having just a couple of employees make a hiring decision?
