A recruiter reached out to me expressing interest in response to my application. She was friendly, asked the usual questions that a recruiter asks, then told me that she would submit my profile to the CTO. The next day I received an automated rejection. The CTO recognized I’m not a fellow graduate of Harvard and didn’t give me a chance. If you look at their employees on LinkedIn, they’re all Ivy League graduates. I’m glad I didn’t get the job because I wouldn’t work for a discriminatory company. Guess you have to be clever to work for Clever.

45 min call with hiring manager after standard HR phone screen. Depending on how you vibe with the hiring manager, they will progress you to a formal technical interview, which I was not offered to take.
