I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Clipboard in Aug 2021
Interview
The interview process consisted of four steps. First, the call with the recruiter. Next two interviews were with the Engineers. Finally, the last interview was with the head of Engineering.
The whole interview process was very fast and smooth. The process took only 1+week from application to the offer.
The interview with the Engineers consisted of coding problems, each lasting 45 minutes. The interview with the Head of Engineering consisted of system architecture design as well as Behavioral questions, lasting the same 45 minutes.
The interview process was very methodical and smooth and I really enjoyed the whole interview process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Algorithmic problem solving while explaining my thought process on the way.
The interview process starts with a 90 minute take-home assignment followed by an initial interview. After that, candidates complete a 3 day Technical Design Document (TDD) assignment and review interview, then finish with a final hiring manager interview.
Both take-home assignments were genuinely fun and interesting problems to work through. After each one, you meet with an engineer to discuss your approach, the decisions you made, and alternative solutions, which made the process feel collaborative rather than adversarial. It was also a great opportunity to talk with people you could potentially be working with.
The final stage focused more on past experience and technical discussions around previous projects and problems I’ve worked on.
Overall, the interview process was well organized, moved fairly quickly, and the team was very supportive throughout.

Can you tell me about a project you worked on that you’re proud of?

Interview
Initial screening is all automated. They give you access to a small repo and a simple JavaScript endpoint to complete. Based on those results you proceed to next steps. I was rejected by initial screening, which was odd considering my output was the same they had in acceptance criteria. They also say the output didn’t pass their scripts, but they can’t provide feedback? Why not send the script result output? Either I missed something simple, or there were gaps in their instructions. Either way, would be easy to automate the feedback too if it’s just script output
Simple it starts with an assessment and then if you pass the assessment you get an interview based on assessment and then there is a documentation based assessment and the follow-up interview and then the final round interview
