The hiring company has to follow a standardized flow for any candidates they get through Triplebyte. Triplebyte does their own evaluation and reports the results, and then each hiring company is only allowed to do a short non-technical[1] phone screen plus a single day of onsite interviews before either rejecting the candidate or extending an offer.

[1] and they enforce this—they specifically ask the candidate to report any technical questions asked during the phone call.




I don’t think this is true anymore. I reported extra interviews to my talent manager and they said nothing. Then I got an email that they fired all talent managers.


"Only" a single day of onsite (presumably technical) interviews? Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of Triplebyte, which is to "O(1)" your job search, i.e. avoid a long interview process with each company?


Maybe. I did TripleByte, the usual process everyone is talking about. That led to 30 minute calls with a bunch of potential employers, then I selected 2-3 of them to do on-sites. The on-sites were single day technical whiteboarding sessions + lunch (taking 6-8 hours total, exhausting), then I got offers from those companies.

When I've gone to FAANG companies, I've gone through a lot more per company to receive an offer. Multiple visits to each campus, lunches, technical sessions, spanning potentially weeks or months. Overall I think TB saved a lot of time and I really enjoyed the process.

Of course, now they've really shot themselves in the foot.
