I recall part of the Triplebyte screening process was to implement a solution to a whiteboard-type problem under a time constraint. It occurred to me that not all companies would necessarily place heavy weight on solving whiteboard problems in the interview process, yet Triplebyte seemed to filter applicants right out of the gate based on this measurement. I am curious if the genome project will alter this aspect of the screening process?

I went through the Triplebyte process (to the end) and did not ever implement a solution to a whiteboard problem under a time constraint.
I went through the triplebyte process twice; once in the take-home project track and once in the "normal" track.

Their feedback to me on the take-home project track was "we thought you did a great job; very impressive. But you interview so poorly that we decided not to move forward." I don't see anything to do in response to that other than to keep trying to interview, so I tried to do the "normal" track.

It was entirely time-constrained, supervised whiteboard problems.

If I recall correctly, I was asked to implement a solution to a combinatorial problem within 1 hour.
