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.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Clipboard in Mar 2025
Interview
The interview process was a series of case studies with no screening outside of your case submissions and follow-up interviews discussing the case.
Overall, it felt very one-sided and it was painfully obvious the "evaluators" didn't even bother reading the case submissions. The direct "feedback" I received had questions and answers that were addressed in my submission word for word. I would be more than accepting if it was a matter of opinion, but the feedback I received was stated as if it was factual.
The evaluation process seemed more effort/output driven instead of "did you answer the case thoughtfully". There were no deadlines for the case, or a recommendation on time spent so part of me believes they expected you to spend 2+ weeks working on some of these documents and provide a full fledged feature for them to implement on their platform. I didn't spend more than 48 hours on any of the cases because this is an interview...not a job.
