> Companies that have high standards are far more interesting places to work at and with more interesting colleagues. They all require whiteboards and leet code.

The industry is at a point where there are plenty of clueless cookie cutter companies cargo culting Leetcode just because those interesting companies engage in it.

As far as interesting companies that don't require that, there's at least Stripe, famously, and surely more from this list:

Within that link under Stripe:

> Programming/debugging phone screen + on site with your own laptop/setup and full access to internet, systems design discussion and talk with hiring manager about team alignment.

That seems to me to be a technical interview. I'm not sure what makes this different from a Facebook or Google.
