I applied online. I interviewed at Triplebyte in May 2017
Interview
Amazing!
I won't mention the quiz and the screening test that happens afterwards because those are well documented, but I just want to share what happens after you pass those. What I can say though is definitely dedicate some time to prepare. You want to be on your A game. Spend a few days or a week warming up and being confident with how you communicate and how you work. If you look through Glassdoor, you will know exactly what you are going to get asked.
After getting accepted, you are paired with a talent manager. I worked with Suzanne. She is literally the best. Your talent manager gives you a list of companies that may be a good fit for the skills that were identified in the screening test. You choose the companies that you are interested in. Triplebyte contacts them and if they are interested in your career ambitions and your background, you get matched. When you are matched you schedule a 30 min phone call with an engineer from that company and you discuss what you're looking for, what they're looking for and everything in between. It's great. You don't have to prove your worth.
Once you decided who you want to interview with - you let Triplebyte know and they set everything up for you, book you a hotel and get you a plane ticket. You are presented with a plethora of resources that tell you what to expect at the interview and how to prepare. There are no gotchas. You know exactly what you're going to get. It's a very honest process. After your interviews you can discuss your offers with your talent manager. The talent manager is definitely your #1 resource - they are there to make sure that you're happy and you end up with a job that you enjoy.
Thanks to the entire Triplebyte team and shout out to Suzanne! I've got an offer at a breakout startup with a competitive salary without having to jump through crazy hoops. If you are confident in your skills and motivated to be in control of your career, I recommend Triplebyte.
Do keep in mind that the majority of companies that they work with are in SF.

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.
