I applied online. I interviewed at Clipboard in Apr 2026
Interview
Initial screening is all automated. They give you access to a small repo and a simple JavaScript endpoint to complete. Based on those results you proceed to next steps. I was rejected by initial screening, which was odd considering my output was the same they had in acceptance criteria. They also say the output didn’t pass their scripts, but they can’t provide feedback? Why not send the script result output? Either I missed something simple, or there were gaps in their instructions. Either way, would be easy to automate the feedback too if it’s just script output
The interview process starts with a 90 minute take-home assignment followed by an initial interview. After that, candidates complete a 3 day Technical Design Document (TDD) assignment and review interview, then finish with a final hiring manager interview.
Both take-home assignments were genuinely fun and interesting problems to work through. After each one, you meet with an engineer to discuss your approach, the decisions you made, and alternative solutions, which made the process feel collaborative rather than adversarial. It was also a great opportunity to talk with people you could potentially be working with.
The final stage focused more on past experience and technical discussions around previous projects and problems I’ve worked on.
Overall, the interview process was well organized, moved fairly quickly, and the team was very supportive throughout.
