They have a really good interview process. Applied online via linked in. Got a call from a recruiter in about a week. Then, a general interview with the HR team on the phone followed by 6 hour on-site interview. They really take time to find the best candidates.
I applied through other source. The process took 9 months. I interviewed at Bloom Energy (Newark, DE) in Mar 2014
Interview
Very long interview process. It's a good thing because they look for the best talent and fit for the company. Took a year to finally get in the door because there was a time where the company was building a new plant and it was busy. Since the company has 2 locations (California and Delaware) there were some video interviews. There was a plant tour which was nice. It helped show the type of work environment you may be in.
