I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bluecore in May 2023
Interview
Initial phone screening discussing the role and company as well as scheduling a take home coding challenge. Take home was solving three leetcode type questions within 2 hours. I was able to schedule it for whenever because they can send you a scheduled email with the challenge.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bluecore in Mar 2023
Interview
I applied online with a referral early March 2023. The interview process took 4 weeks. I interviewed from late March into early April 2023. Started with a simple phone screen where I told recruiter about myself, how the job search was going, and why I am interested in Bluecore. Next, I had a take home where you have three hours to complete three questions heavy on data manipulation and basic data structures like strings, objects, and arrays. I submitted them on GitHub gists. Next, I had a behavioral interview with a person from engineering team to talk about my goals, background, and motivations. After behavioral interview, I had my technical interview where I had to solve several data manipulation questions that manipulate client data with two other engineers from the engineering team. Unfortunately didn’t pass technical interview :( but interview process still had two more rounds I believe it was a meeting with VP of Bluecore and a presentation. Overall recruiter was very helpful and interviewers were very kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. I had a positive experience and the algorithms were fun to solve!

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Bluecore (New York, NY) in May 2022
Interview
I interviewed with Bluecore in April/May of 2022. The entire process consisted of 5 rounds over 4 weeks. The first round was a phone screen with a recruiter, after which I was assigned a take home assessment. They emailed me 3 algorithm problems, and I had 2 hours to complete and submit them as a GitHub gist. Afterwards I had a quick behavioral call with a hiring manager. The next step was a live technical assessment with two engineers, where I had an hour to do some relatively straightforward data manipulation. The last stage was the final virtual 'onsite', which consisted of three rounds: walking an engineer through one of my projects, a discussion with customer success about client facing responsibilities, and a discussion with a VP about Bluecore as a company. The entire process was a positive experience, and all of the interviewers were very polite and friendly. I ended up accepting a different offer for a role that was a better fit for me, but I came away with a highly positive impression of Bluecore overall.
