I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Clearcover (Chicago, IL)
Interview
There was a interview with an internal recruiter (~30 minutes), and initial technical assessment with a developer (30-45 minutes). This was a paired programming exercise. If you passed that you had a 2nd technical assessment, again a paired programming exercise (~60 minutes). And last an interview or two with potential technical managers (~30 minutes each)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe some projects you worked on? The program exercises were fairly straight forward problems to get an idea of you skill as well as allow to ability to explain how you solve a problem.

Question 1
Behavioral questions focus heavily on collaboration and mentorship.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Clearcover (Chicago, IL) in May 2021
Interview
I had a phone screen where the recruiter told me that they were thinking about turning away a candidate due to having an accent despite having complete requirements for the role. The phone screen was fine besides that. I got to the next round- a one hour technical. I took a half day off work and the interviewer did not show up. They rescheduled my interview for a different day and I had to take more time off work. I did okay in the first half and great in the second half. They said they recruiter would get back to me in a few days. The recruiter never reached out, so I asked for info. They said they would reach out in a few days and never did. I emailed back THREE WEEKS after no response. They still never emailed me back.
The company has glowing reviews but I’m unsure if those are fabricated because that is not the reflection of the interview process. It was messy and they did not respect my time. Proceed with caution.
