Process
I applied through LinkedIn. Initially, I got the standard rejection email. Then, after a week, a recruiter reached out, stating there was a mistake on their end, and continued with the process.
The first round was a recruiter chat.
The second was a live coding assessment. It was an average question if you were prepared about permutations and combinations; however, I couldn't complete it in time.
The third round was a system design round on the same day, lasting one hour. It was an easy question, as I had seen it beforehand. Both interviewers were kind people.
Questions
Practice DSA coding challenges and system designs.

Clio Work Experiences
- 3.0Decent Pay, Niche FieldSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeToronto, Ontario, CanadaJune 28, 2025Pros: Decent pay and potential for growth.Cons: Legal tech might not be for everyone.
- 5.0Responsible growth avoids layoffsSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeFebruary 8, 2025Pros: Clio's leaders deserve lots of praise for growing the company responsibly. Unlike many other tech companies that overhired during the pandemic and then underwent multiple rounds of layoffs later, Clio did not let its employee count outpace its revenue growth. Executives frequently share with employees that Clio continues to achieve its financial goals.Cons: Clio's frugality also has consequences. Too much work for too few workers means some parts of the product are effectively unowned, despite having a team notionally assigned to them. An injection of unplanned work can cause under-resourced teams to abandon their main project for days at a time while the injection is resolved.
- 4.0Great Culture, Some HustleSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeBurnaby, British Columbia, CanadaNovember 26, 2024Pros: Clio had a great culture.Cons: Be prepared for a little hustle culture.
