I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Clipboard
Interview
Grateful to see the honest reviews here. Same as others, I received an ask for a case study without having formally met anyone on the team. They didn't even have my resume on my file - outrageous expectation to spend hours on something so soon, and then to follow with more cases later on? It also sounded like the whole interview process was just cases, no cultural or behavioural fit interview, which is a red flag. Also looked at the Linkedin profiles of hiring teams who seemed largely inexperienced for the seniority / role (company is reaching out to candidates with 15+ YOE with the HM having 3-5 YOE). Saw this with many other teams/HMs in the company. Does not appear to be a good pattern. I recommend not engaging with the company as I am seeing red flags all over. I hope they revamp their interview process to make it more win-win for candidate and company.
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.

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!
