I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Clipboard in Mar 2023
Interview
Basically all the negative interviews are correct. No introduction nothing, straight into a case study. However this orginization must be at the size of a bulge bracket bank because despite you putting in the effort and wanting to work for a startup (you know those things that are known to be more human?) they will not tell you a single thing. They just can't find the 2 minutes to give you feedback on the multiple hours of free work you gave them. All the other comments about them just trying to scrape as many inputs as they can seem to be true! Highly don't recommend getting your hopes up and putting in effort.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Some bs case study about Lyft. It's called "Creating Value out of Nothing". You can just Google the substack post and the submission link even pops up....
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.

Question 1
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!
