Clearwater Analytics (CWAN) interview questions

I was recently hired as the Human Resource Director for Clearwater Analytics. I can attest from personal experience that our interview process is extremely thorough, challenging, and unconventional. I was treated with respect throughout the interview process and was thrilled to join the Company. I would like to comment on some of the other posts regarding disrespectful treatment during the interview process. As the new HR Director, this is particularly concerning to me as this is not part of our company culture. I made the decision to join Clearwater Analytics for the opportunity to work with intelligent, motivated, and friendly people. Our interview process is designed to be respectful yet challenging, as our goal is to hire the best and brightest talent in the market. We are continuously striving to improve, and I invite anyone with concerns about our interview process to contact me directly. We are committed to promoting a respectful, productive, and friendly workplace!

I applied to an opening for a Summer intern online on my universities job board and was contacted by one of the managers that they would like to interview me. I agreed to an interview. It was scheduled to be on-campus. I read about other people's interview with this company, and there was a lot of negative information about the interview process and questions. The person I met with didn't have a copy of my resume and I didn't bring a copy with me so that was kind of awkward. During the initial interview I was asked to solve a simple mathematical problem, debug a code, and then write my own. I struggled a little bit to write my own, just something really simple that I missed in a recursion, but the interviewer was nice and helped me out. Then he asked me which year in school I was and he was surprised that I wasn't a junior and said that the company normally only hires junior-senior levels, but in my case he didn't know what to say. In about 3 weeks I heard from the company and they said that they would like to do an on-ste interview with me. The on site interviews were divided into few sections: there were about 3 programming challenges with the actual programmers from different teams of the company and 1 was mathematical. I guess due to my lack of programming experience I struggled during the programming interviews, but everyone during those interviews was nice and willing to help, or at least point in a right direction. THEN there was the math problems: one was fairly easy and one was a probability question, with no help provided.. The guy was just a jerk! I took stats 2 years ago and was planning on NEVER using it again, and as a developer I plan on going into a field that doesn't require using stats ever, especially after this guy! He was just plainly rude! He was in the second pair of the interviewers and after him I was already wanting that this company would not hire me, because I wouldn't want to work for someone like him. Programmers beware! As for the company work culture - it seemed really laid back. Programmers were friendly, and really easy to talk to. They have a team training every week and once a month a few teams training for which the company provides lunch. After flying back I got an e-mail stating that at this time the company is interested in pursuing other candidates and was reliefed to find out that I didn't get an offer that I would have declined either way.
