Front End Developer Interview Experience - Burnaby, Canada
Process
I applied for the job online.
I got the response from HR after 5 days. It was a phone screening where HR asked questions about the work and technologies I had worked with in the past. After that, he said he would discuss the profile with the Dev manager and, if I was a suitable fit, I would be given a coding test (a take-home test).
After 2 days, I received a coding test which consisted of 3 programming problems. I completed the test within the given duration, and after that, there was no word from HR.
I sent follow-up emails to HR, and then he replied after 1 week to schedule another interview with 2 team members (team lead and developer) for 2-3 hours.
I went for the in-person interview at Clio's office in Burnaby. The office is nice.
HR told me he would meet me at the office, but there was no sign of him. The receptionist at the desk asked me to log in through an app where you need to specify the interviewer's name. I waited for 5 minutes, and then the interviewers came by and took me to a meeting room.
One of the interviewers joined through Hangout, and 2 of them were in person.

Clio Work Experiences
- 5.0Great Culture, Interview Process, and PeopleSenior Software Developer • Current EmployeeBurnaby, British Columbia, CanadaDecember 2, 2020Pros: I am part of the interview panel at Clio and I get to participate regularly in hiring committee meetings. From these meetings, I learned a lot about Clio’s culture, values, and my co-workers. I must say I love Clio’s human and high-performing culture and values. My co-workers are super compassionate, have both high IQ and EQ, and are fair and just. We hire not just based on ability but also based on potential, and I love how we carefully evaluate each candidate’s personal circumstances. We don’t treat candidates as numbers but rather try to understand them as human beings. We look at the whole candidate’s story and try to understand who they are as a person and how they got to where they are today. As Clio grows, you grow with it. You have career conversations with your manager, and you can chart your growth trajectory in every aspect, career-wise or personally. Meaningful social activities help you bond with your co-workers both within and outside your team. High-quality managers are keenly aware of both the technical and non-technical challenges of the team and the needs of their reports. Managers strive to make the best team dynamics while ensuring the successful operations of teams. There are lots of interesting technical challenges, so developers get ample opportunities to improve and/or keep up their skills.Cons: In my opinion, there are a few bad technical decisions made in the past that caused a lot of technical debt right now. I think the team should focus on making the right high-risk decisions early on, rather than saying things like, "We are not at Google-scale yet, therefore our code doesn't need to be super performant." Some of my coworkers disagree with me on this, so I guess it's more of my personal opinion than a fact.
