Recently applied at CataWiki and aced the actual coding problem, but was later rejected because I failed the 2 hours whiteboard part of the interview. I have to say, those hours in front of the whiteboard are really not pleasant and I would have performed much better if I had real-life problems to solve using real-life tools.

Sorry, but on second thought this reply only lists the negative side of my experience. On the positive side, CataWiki has been excellent in communication and sharing feedback throughout the process and they have a really nice office and great culture. Definitely a place I could see myself working at so the company itself is not bad, just that the whiteboard part of the interview process could be improved/replaced.
