I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Triplebyte in Jul 2016
Interview
TLDR: Triplebyte is the best! They connected me with companies that I doubt would ever have taken me seriously otherwise. I accepted a dream job at a top tier SF tech company.
I initially took a 45 minute multiple choice quiz on their website. The questions were pretty straightforward, but in many different programming languages. After completing the quiz, I was told I had been fast-tracked straight to the final interview.
I scheduled the interview for the next week. It was about 3.5 hours over skype. The final interview consisted of about 1/3 practical coding, 1/3 algorithms and data structures, and 1/3 system design. I felt the interview did a great job assessing my ability to preform at a real programming job, unlike a lot of other SWE interviews that just test academics. Note that this interview is HARD.
After my interview, I received an email letting me know I was accepted. They had one of their engineers spend a full hour with me going over my interview feedback and helping me prepare for onsites.
They had me fill out a survey about the types of companies/roles I was interested in. They offered 10 really awesome startups that they thought would be good fits for me. A good number of these startups were household names. After expressing my interest in some of these companies, they fast tracked me straight to onsite interviews.
I ended up accepting an offer from a top tier bay area tech company through Triplebyte. I seriously doubt I would have been able to get interviews at these companies without Triplebyte. They came through for me in every way. I would definitely go through them again on my next job search.

Interview
Skipped straight to onsite because of Triplebyte profile.
Onsite was very organized. Three coding challenges (frontend, backend, CLI game), one architecture, one product, one leadership. Respectful and well managed overall. Pretty hard tech interviews.
