I applied online for a Strategy and Operations role at Cliboard Health. After a few hours, I received an email to do a case study. The case study was not hard, but it took a few hours to finish it. I did it in the evening and the next day I received a rejection email without absolutely no feedback. After reading Glassdoor and Reddit, it seems this is the case for a lot of candidates. I can understand their recruiting process and doing a case study before contact can help triage the candidates, however, not providing feedback to people you asked to do the case study is not the way to go. It is frustrating that people work a few hours on something and receive absolutely no feedback. If you have too many applicants, hire more people or do the right thing and provide feedback. This is a lesson learnt for me, that I will never do any work before speaking with someone at the company.
The interview process began with an initial assessment, which had no time limit. I wrote about 2 pages. After submitting the assessment, I moved on to the next stage: a live interview focused on discussing my approach to the assessment. During this conversation, I walked through my solution, explained my reasoning, and answered follow-up questions related to testing and validating the approach.

The interview process was a series of case studies with no screening outside of your case submissions and follow-up interviews discussing the case.
Overall, it felt very one-sided and it was painfully obvious the "evaluators" didn't even bother reading the case submissions. The direct "feedback" I received had questions and answers that were addressed in my submission word for word. I would be more than accepting if it was a matter of opinion, but the feedback I received was stated as if it was factual.
The evaluation process seemed more effort/output driven instead of "did you answer the case thoughtfully". There were no deadlines for the case, or a recommendation on time spent so part of me believes they expected you to spend 2+ weeks working on some of these documents and provide a full fledged feature for them to implement on their platform. I didn't spend more than 48 hours on any of the cases because this is an interview...not a job.
