      Software Engineer Interview

      8 Nov 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at CLEAR (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Call with recruiter, one hour tech screen, one hour data structure interview, one hour system design interview, one hour collaboration interview Nothing was too hard. But the interviewers were a little impersonal. One of the interviewers was pretty obviously messaging someone as I was answering her questions.

      Software Engineer Interview

      9 Aug 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CLEAR

      Interview

      Interviews were average difficulty but definitely easier and shorter process compared to other companies. I had a negative experience with one engineer who was rude and standoffish, seemed full of himself and would definitely be hard to work with. What was most frustrating about the interview process was the lack of communication and broken promises by the recruiter. I was told several times that I would hear back the next day only to hear nothing despite following up. At the end of the process I received a rejection but the whole experience left a sour taste in my mouth. I wouldn't want to work there if their communication with external candidates is so poor. If you're not ready to communicate a decision, then say so as opposed to repeatedly telling the candidate you'll hear back EOD several times in a row. I can only imagine what chaos is happening internally for that to happen.

      Question 1

      Tech screen: 1 LC easy + 1 LC medium. Then it's one behavioral, one coding, and system design.

      Software Engineer Interview

      20 Jul 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at CLEAR (New York, NY) in Jun 2023

      Interview

      Recruiter reached out for a phone screening with a no-reply email. I had to find his name in the signature to look the guy up on LinkedIn, guess his company email and reach out to schedule a specific time for the call. On the phone call, the recruiter was very disinterested. I could barely get a word in. His demeanor was detached and passive-aggressive. After making it through the phone screening, I was scheduled for a technical interview with two senior engineers. I can't describe the challenge, nor the topics we discussed, but I thought it went well. About 4 weeks passed without any notice, until I reached out directly to the recruiter. Instead of responding directly to my inquiry, he sent me an automated decline email.
