A listing of companies (or teams within companies) that don't do typical, CS based "whiteboard" interviews. Using sites like HackerRank probably fall into that category and won't be accepted. The companies and teams listed here instead use interview techniques and questions that resemble day-to-day work – for example pairing on a real world problem, or a paid/unpaid takehome exercise.
- Discussing a real world problem with the help of a whiteboard is 👍
- Solving basic CS questions, technical puzzles, brainteasers (with or without whiteboard) is 👎
Please open a PR to be added.
