I read glassdoor reviews before going into the interview process. At first I thought people are just being bitter because they didn't get the job. So I gave Clipboard benefit of the doubt. But I was absolutely wrong. Read the reviews and believe them! Before you waste your time engaging with their interview process. Three things screamed red flags two me. First, for the PM interviews, there was no single positive review/experience on glassdoor. All negative, and they are pretty much saying the same thing. All other companies I interviewed with would at least have 2 or 3 positive experiences. The second red flag is if you go read "what is it like to work there on Glassdoor," Clipboard has almost every single employees say there is NO CONS of working there. I highly encourage you to go to that section and read those employee reviews. They are all saying the same thing. It felt coached and fake. I'm 99% sure they are part of the hiring strategies of Clipboard. For me, this is a HUGE red flag because the company is obviously not honest with you and they would be expecting you to lie once you are on board. The third red flag is that they video record your interviews without even asking you for consent beforehand. The first thing the interviewer dived directly into was how amazing to work there. Exactly what the reviews on Glassdoor said. It felt like that's what they are being told to say. And since the interview is recorded, for me when they say those things, it didn't feel authentic at all. I started to have doubts right after the first interview and pondering on if I should continue with the process since I heard the next step would be solving a long real life case study for them FOR FREE again. It kinda feels like free consulting tbh. But luckily I got a rejection letter today and instead of feeling disappointed, I very much felt relieved. Now I can use my time to prepare for other interviews with other companies :)

Question 1
lyft ride pricing questions - not hard at all. Use excel and build a simple model is sufficient
I spent several days doing the take home case study. I was rejected with no feedback with a general email response. It was a waste of my time & honestly wish I hadn't taken the bait.

As the pricing PM for Lyft's ride-scheduling launch in Toledo, how would you determine the optimal driver payout (by adjusting Lyft's take, without raising the $25 rider price) to maximize net revenue over the next 12 months given the provided CAC, churn, ride volume, match-rate, and pricing experiment data?
1. Takehome
2. Interview about the takehome
3. Another takehome...
4. A call about the second takehome
5. Unknown after that
Very frustrating overall. Did not feel respected as a candidate. Did not receive feedback on the case. Extremely unimpressed with the process.

Several different case studies and behavioral rounds felt like they were farming ideas rather than actually interviewing someone to join the team. The questions weren't difficult, and the case studies weren't challenging. The interviewer definitely didn't read the case study because the feedback I received was generic and also addressed directly in my answers in the case study. Like others have already stated, negative interview process. Plus as soon as I was rejected, I got an interview request from someone else on the team for the same role!
