How's the work life balance at ClayHR?
Great! So far this has been my favorite organization in terms of work life balance. They respect "My time" and very generous in terms on PTO and they have a unique concept of #paidpaidvacation where they contribute if you are going out on vacation.
Excellent. This is my fourth company and this is the best in terms of work-life balance.
Very, very good. Best I have ever seen at a product startup.

What do people at ClayHR think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
Amrinder is highly respected in the organization. He is a super mentor, anyone who has been touched by him even for a day will say so!
He is a techie like rest of us. No airs about him - very personable. But he can be impatient, with anyone. He can usually break the hardest of the hard problems into 2 or 3 easy to do items. (That is one of the reasons we succeed so often.)
Great! Their benefits are excellent - healthcare an trainings are like cherries on top!

Very casual sometimes it is at coffee shop! It doesn't seem like they are testing you but they actually are!
Very relaxed, friendly and casual. They invited me to the coffee shop and we just had a conversation!! It just didn't seem like an interview. Amrinder, who is also the CEO, is very technical and it is very difficult to fool him. So if you don't know the answers, say No. There is a lot of focus on a behavioral aspect of personality, so if you are witty and pleasing, you have actually won half the battle.

What's the vibe like in the Engineering dept at ClayHR? How many hours are you working?
I work closely with Engineering, but not in Engineering myself. Work life balance is good, but of course, product company and things can get hectic. Just today, the Eng Team worked about 2 hours extra with me, unplanned. That is life. Many Fridays, they get to pack up around 3 PM too though. Average must be around 45 for the week..
Well I am in customer success, not in Engineering, but I work closely with Engineering. They usually work about 9-9.5 hrs I think but that includes lunch. It is high energy work, but not crazily long in terms of hours.
