I received a referral for the role and was contacted later that day to set up a Zoom interview with a member of the talent acquisition team. The interviewer seemed somewhat disinterested during the interview and frequently looked away from the camera at something out of view. I thought he might have an external monitor although he never said so and it was distracting when answering his questions. Additionally, I was surprised by his very casual attire. I know Bluecore is a tech company so there isn't a strict dress code but I wore a suit and the interviewer was wearing sweats. I don't fault anyone for wearing what makes them comfortable but the Zoom interview is the first point of contact between a candidate and the company and I didn't feel it reflected well on the company. I didn't receive an offer but the recruiter later sent me a well-reasoned and considerate explanation and checked with his colleagues regarding other potential opportunities at the company which I definitely appreciated.

Phone calls, a data project, and then the final round on-site. The process and communication were very smooth and quick, so the HR and the very team that was hiring did a great job. It was a pleasant experience UNTIL I spoke with one of the interviewers who is actually the head of another team. He kept swearing and cursing that made me immediately lost interest in continuing the interview or even working at the company. However smart you are, just don't use the f-word when you speak with any candidate, period.
