I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ClickUp in Aug 2025
Interview
The phone screening was an easy interview.
Virtual on-site - okayish. The coding part was not difficult, but they require the optimal solution, I made a mistake with implementing simply working one and had no time to address it.
Sys design was confusing, they asked to design one specific part of specific system without providing much details - what is already implemented, what should we focus on etc. When I spent around 10 minutes explaining the API server - they told me it already exists lol why not to say that earlier?
Behavior interview - the classic one.
Got the rejection quickly with long copy-pasted text, asked to provide more detailed feedback - crickets.
Anyway would try again, but rather negative experience here, definitely not difficult interview with more collaborative interviewers.

Question 1
easy-medium LeetCode-like question in the virtual onsite, easy LeetCode in the phone screening.
Recruiter screen was straightforward. Talked about my work and how it relates to Clickup. Technical screen will be up next followed by more rounds. System design, project discussion and culture fit is expected.
The amount of work they expect you to do for an interview is absolutely ridiculous. The pre-work absurd and not worth 2% match. Don’t waste your time, you don’t want to work along side such cold and arrogant.

How do you decide when a feature is 'good enough' to ship versus when it needs more refactoring?
