I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Clipboard (New York, NY) in Aug 2023
Interview
**DO NOT APPLY FOR THIS COMPANY** I feel like I just got scammed and wasted hours of my time for nothing. They contacted me, and asked that I do the case study exercise before talking with anyone about the job. I asked to jump on a quick call first, and they agreed. After the call, I completed the assignment and sent it for review. I spent about 5 hours on the case study, which I solved with a great creative solution. However, just a few days later, I got a generic rejection email that said nothing.
To the company: If you are asking candidates to spend hours of their time doing assignments for you, at least have the respect and dignity to explain why they didn't meet your hiring bar.

Question 1
How much more or less do you pay drivers per trip given driver rides/month and salary and riders CAC and request rate? Your goal is to maximize net revenue for the next 12 months on this route.
The interview process began with an initial assessment, which had no time limit. I wrote about 2 pages. After submitting the assessment, I moved on to the next stage: a live interview focused on discussing my approach to the assessment. During this conversation, I walked through my solution, explained my reasoning, and answered follow-up questions related to testing and validating the approach.
