Triplebyte
Did anyone tried triplebyte? Can you please share your experience with them ? Do they match with the top companies like Apple, etc. ?
I took the test, passed the interview and got a few interview requests. But only one was an interesting company and rest of them all are series-b level start ups. Finally landed an offer with the one company I liked, in negotiations with them at the moment.
Awesome. To which company you got matched with ? How many onsite rounds did you go through with the company you got matched ?
DM me. It's a small engineering team. Don't want to share here.
The interview process is pretty ridiculous. They ask you a somewhat standard LeetCode problem, and monitor how far you progress. Then comes a lightning trivia round, where they ask you a bunch of questions that test how well you know random stuff that has little do with how well you could do your job. Then they ask you to debug some spaghetti code, and monitor how far you make it. They have listed a bunch of big name companies that you might want to work for as clients who use them. But you'll only get shitty startups that see you as a massive down-level opportunity who request to interview you. Would recommend if you'd be happy to work at a startup a level below where you belong. Would DEFINITELY recommend if you want interview practice. Otherwise, 1/10 - waste of time.
I wanted to give it a try. I have been to Microsoft and Google onsite but got rejected. So felt like trying triplebyte.
I took the interview , passed it , came to company match state and asked them to put it on hold coz I accepted something outside and they were giving me shitty to average startups .. not sure if it’s a door into fb or Netflix etc top tier companies
Would probably not use unless you can't get interviews without them. They did match me with Apple, but not any other more interesting companies (bunch of shitty startups otherwise), and I could've gotten an interview with Apple anyways. They take a 15000 cut if you sign an offer, so it hurts your negotiating potential.
15k is cheap. they must have dropped their prices to gain some market share.
Thanks for the info folks.
I used them and would recommend, though I took an outside offer. They are best if you come from a non-traditional background and/or want to work in a startup. They do have larger companies—I matched with Apple, Adobe, and Amex for example, and their system makes it easy to filter by company size, etc. I also like the concept of taking one comprehensive test to go to any onsite rather than needing to do multiple tech phone screens the traditional way (you still need to talk to the HM before onsite though).
How many onsite rounds did you have with Apple ?
2 in the morning, lunch with HM, 2 after lunch. No offer. :(
Passed online test. Scheduled video interview for the next day. It was two hours long. First coding part not hard then you get asked tons of random questions on topics ranging from OS level to data structures. Then a debugging session where you’re given code and asked to identify bugs. Then more questions. Lot of the questions I didn’t have deep understanding on, couldn’t give thorough answers. For example, what is a reader writer lock? I didn’t pass the interview.
Is there any cool off period if you didn’t pass the interview? In general if you passed interview and they match you with one company let’s say Apple, how many rounds of onsite you will be having ? Do you have any idea ?
I think cool off is 6 months. They first do a call with matched companies to talk about the role and then do a normal onsite.
