I've gone through their process and these guys aren't any different from the rest of "them". I finished the problem within the allotted time but was then rejected. I have no problem with the rejection itself but in the feedback I was told that even though I finished it on time I didn't finish it fast enough. Thats the sort of vague moving the goalposts that I have NOT seen in most of my in person technical interviews and why all their blog posts and lofty goals should be taken with a huge grain of salt.

That sounds better than my experience with a fuck up startup a while ago. I solved all their tech challenges to have the email revealed. It's fun at that time. Sent my resume to that email. Received a phone call. Had a short interview over the phone answering behavioral interview questions, such as why you want to work here. Then never heard back although they mentioned over the phone that they liked my performance.

I apologize for that. Writing personalized rejection emails for interviewees that gives clear feedback is something we're committed to and we apologize we didn't meet that goal here.

I don't know the specifics of your interview but we do often make a decision to not move forward even when we reach a working solution. That could be for a wide range of reasons (design choices are one example, or seeing engineers we move forward with covering more ground beyond an initial working solution might be another).

We know we'll inevitably get false negatives in our process, if you've any other feedback I'd be grateful to hear it. harj AT triplebyte DOT com.

For some interviews, that's the true bar, not just getting a solution - for example, I got rejected by Facebook at the technical phone screen stage for not completing two questions in the time allotted (two phone screens, since they give you a chance to prove that the first failure was a fluke).

Are you talking about interviewing for triplebyte specifically or using their software to apply to other startups? At what stage did you end up getting rejected?

Wow. What was the time limit, and how long did you actually take?
