A listing of companies (or teams) that don't do "whiteboard" interviews. "Whiteboards" is used as a metaphor, and is a symbol for the kinds of CS trivia questions that are associated with bad interview practices. Whiteboards are not bad – CS trivia questions are. Using sites like HackerRank/LeetCode probably fall into a similar category.
The companies and teams listed here use interview techniques and questions that resemble day-to-day work – for example pairing on a real world problem, or a paid/unpaid take home exercise. Read (and contribute to) our recommendations for ways to conduct better interviews.
- Discussing a real world problem (with or without whiteboard) is 👍
- Solving CS trivia, technical puzzles, riddles, brainteasers (with or without whiteboard) is 👎
Please open a PR to be added.
If you've been through an interview with one of these companies recently, and your experience suggests otherwise from their description, please open a PR to remove them from this list.
Additions to this document that are properly formatted will automatically be pushed and added to the Airtable. Keywords from the description will also be extracted. You can see (and contribute!) to the API here.
