I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Clearwater Analytics (CWAN) (Boise, ID) in Dec 2012
Interview
I applied online via the website and got an email a week later to schedule a phone interview. The first phone interview entailed basic accounting/financial concepts and a few questions regarding my past experience. A week later I received an invitation for an interview at their HQ in Boise. The whole interview lasted for an hour with both technical and behavioral questions.
The overall interview process was a bit stressful, but manageable. The interviewers did help me out with a couple of financial/accounting concepts that I haven't covered in class. The math questions went very well. It seems to me that they're looking for fast, flexible individuals who can handle stress - it's okay not to know something, as long as you don't get nervous and pick it up quickly.

Question 1
Be prepared for some math and make sure you can calculate fast without a calculator.

Interview
Lots of math questions, logic questions. They challenged my answers and thought processes. It was intense, but I didn't mind given I've been used to challenging situations through presentations, athletics, etc. I can see how some people would be intimidated but they are trying to challenge your thought process and see if you can defend your logic.

Question 1
They challenged my thought process a few times. I'd rather not give specific questions.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Clearwater Analytics (CWAN) (Rexburg, ID) in Oct 2016
Interview
I approached them at a career fair and set up an interview for the next day with a 30 minute time frame. They asked a series of 4 questions, mostly logic and code-knowledge questions. I don't think I did very well, and when I asked for feedback he said he wasn't allowed to give feedback.

Question 1
A companies stock is worth $200. When the companies stock goes down in one day, it goes down by $3. When it goes up in one day, it goes up 2$. After 40 days, the stock is still worth $200. How many days did the stock go down, and how many days did the stock go up?
Write a function that accepts a List of employee hours, a budget, and salary. The function should return true if the payment needed to go out to the employees is under budget, and false if it is above budget. Assume that the salary is the same for all employees, and remember if an employee has worked over 40 hours, each hour over 40 is 1.5x pay.

Interview
The company sent a link to an online coding test with multiple problems. It was in Javascript. The problems consisted of debugging questions where I was asked to provide code that would break various functions. Then I was asked to fix the functions. Rinse and repeat. I had 20 minutes to complete as many questions as I could.
