Bluecore Senior Software Engineer interview questions

Recruiter call, technical phone screen, and on-site went smoothly. The recruiter went over their 'tribe' system, and I expressed strong interest in two specific teams which aligned with my experience and goals, and pointed out teams I didn't see a good fit for. The interviewers were mostly young engineers (some were new grads with ~6 months exp). On-site consisted of standard data-structure/algo questions with a splash of design and a behavioral. The office was nice but packed, and I enjoyed the open lunch area with couches -- felt like a friendly environment. Up to this point, the experience was positive. Had a followup call with the recruiter who went over the very positive feedback received. Was told that an engineering director would call to discuss team matching details further. Received a call from a manager who immediately made a verbal offer...for a team I had told the recruiter I didn't see the strongest fit with. Given the described purpose of the call of team matching, I said I could see some fit, but also mentioned the other teams I was interested in. Then, in the following three weeks, I was completely ghosted by the recruiter and directors/managers despite many followup emails I sent. Shocked by this level of unprofessional behavior, I reached out to two ex-Bluecore employees who had worked there for over 3 years each in engineering. One response was very negative; the other was positive, but informed of huge attrition in engineering the past year which resulted in 20-25% of the org leaving in a span of several months. The resulting talent/resource spread was apparently very imbalanced across teams, so they had tried to force me into a team that was under high duress regardless of my preference. Seems that I dodged a bullet. Either the recruiter had misled me from the start, or the people behind the process misled them, and nobody wanted to take responsibility or be transparent. The fact that they cold halted communication after a verbal offer is incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful.
