BaubleBar interview questions

After I submitted my application I received an email asking me to complete a project. I completed the project before the due date, met all the requirements, and moved on to the next steps which was a zoom interview. The interview went well and I was asked to do another project. This time they wanted me to turn in new innovative ideas for their personalized jewelry. Again I completed the project and met all requirements only to be dismissed a few days later without any explanation. Ultimately the whole process was a waste of my time, and I was left feeling like I was just used for free labor / ideas. Any company who has you do 2 projects without compensation or intention to hire is a huge red flag. And after reading the employee reviews, I am happy to have dodged a bullet.

The interview felt awkward and disorganized. One person asked all the questions while the other just sat and observed. The questions themselves were pretty basic and didn’t really relate to the actual responsibilities of the role. For a position focused on chat, email, and social media, I expected more job specific or skills-based questions. Instead, it felt like they based their decisions mostly on personality and how you answered general questions, which doesn’t really show whether someone is qualified. Relying on personality over skills isn’t a reliable way to predict success in the role. Overall, the process seemed rushed and they expected the person to start that same week. Definitely not the most professional or thoughtful interview process I’ve experienced.
