I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Clearwater Analytics (CWAN) (Boise, ID) in Oct 2015
Interview
The process was very quick. Took them only a week to contact me and then two days later I had a phone interview. Within a few business days they invited me to an interview in Boise. The phone interview was 45 min while the in-person interview was 2 hours. They were very friendly and I really liked the company until the day after the interview. A day after the interview they offered me the job. Unfortunately the salary was very low so I spent a few days building a case to justify a salary negotiation. They refused to negotiate and their justification for doing so convinced me that I did not want to work there. This was advertised as a finance/accounting job but they told me that my background was essentially irrelevant and that they had non-business majors doing the same job even though a business degree was advertised as a requirement. While they were polite they essentially implied that they did not value my skill-set and saw me as another body. Overall they were very friendly and cordial through out the experience but I declined their offer.

Interview
2 Technical
1 with APAC leader
1 with HR
Interview was not very difficult, easy for a CFA person basics about fixed income, derivatives, FSA. Not too deep but questions may arise from fundamentals
Pathetic Experience
First Round:
Technical interview at the Noida office. Feedback was shared the same day.
Second Round:
Another technical round with the Process Head the following day at the office. Feedback was again shared the same day.
Third Round:
HR interaction where I was only asked for a brief introduction, and the HR confirmed everything looked fine from their side.
Despite that, I received no update. I called the HR the next day and was informed that my application was “in process” and that I would receive the confirmation by the same day or the next. After four days of silence, I was finally told that the position had been closed.
After travelling twice to their office and waiting for a full week, this was the only communication provided—without any explanation. Even when I reached out to the India HR Manager, there was no response. Overall, highly unprofessional and no regard for a candidate’s time.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Clearwater Analytics (CWAN) (Edinburgh, Scotland) in Oct 2025
Interview
I had a chat with the recruiter and then two interviews with people from the team. It was generally quite relaxed. In the first interview I was asked to prepare by reading a case study and a document of terminology. Then in the interview they asked questions about it (slightly more simple/superficial than I was ready for, which was nice). I didn't have to get everything right and they did a good job of explaining anything I missed. They also asked the "typical" interview questions e.g. past experience, why I'd be good for the role, previous examples of leadership/teamwork/problem solving etc. The second interview was more of the general interview questions and was a little bit shorter, but was with a more senior team member.
