Process

Echoing what others have said here.

First of all, I have nothing but great things to say about the Clay team. On an individual level, everyone was smart, respectful, and kind.

However, the take-home assignment is a doozy. If you don't already use their platform, you'll have to learn it. The scoring criteria is ambiguous, and although the assignment doesn't say it, you will absolutely be scored on your ability to showcase technical proficiency and deep understanding of the platform.

The interview process sucked me in. I was willing to, and—dare I say—excited about spending way, way too much time on an unpaid assignment (40+ hours). It's clear the internal teams operate the same way. You'll move quickly, learn a lot, but be prepared to hand over your free time for the sake of a lucrative career move.

Tip: Look up recent Clay integrations (I'm talking things released the week you submit your assignment) and showcase as much technical knowledge about the platform as you possibly can, on top of being creative and on-brand.
