Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Toronto, Canada
Process
Not a very pleasant experience.
Applied through a job posting platform, had a chat with HR, and discussed the next steps. A few hours later, the interview process was closed, and they ghosted.
No feedback - apparently a common practice for Clio, as noted in other reviews. It felt like an interview for a fast-food cashier position; very little respect. Would stay clear.

Clio Work Experiences
- 5.0Great company & great dev cultureSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeCalgary, Alberta, CanadaOctober 1, 2025Pros: The job is fast-paced, and you will learn a lot. The feedback loop is consistent, and other devs, managers, and designers actively help you grow and succeed. Product, design, and development work closely together.Cons: - Moving too fast and growing fast, so the requirements tend to change more so than other software companies over the course of a project. - High pressure to deliver.
- 4.0Good company, not much space for growthSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeBurnaby, British Columbia, CanadaJuly 9, 2020Pros: Good tech stack, friendly people.Cons: Not your typical tech company, more like a family business.
- 3.0Clio's engineering organization is great. Lawyaw's is notSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeNovember 2, 2023Pros: Clio's engineering organization is mature, competent, and transparent. A top-tier Ruby shop and a great place to learn. I absolutely recommend Clio as a place to work for engineers.Cons: Lawyaw, one of Clio's recent acquisitions, is a disaster. Non-existent technical direction, ridiculous big bets destined for failure, egregiously toxic culture. No engineer has any chance to succeed here. Stay away until Clio steps in and does the necessary restructuring.
