Hiring without whiteboards

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 take home exercise.

tl;dr

  • Discussing a real world problem with the help of a whiteboard is 👍
  • Solving basic CS questions, technical puzzles, riddles, brainteasers (with or without whiteboard) is 👎

Please open a PR to be added.

Format

- [Company or team name within company](https://jobspage) | location | what you do instead

Duds

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.

I want to sort by X!
