In practice, I often find that exceptional candidates like a rigorous interview process-smart people often like doing things that feel difficult and selective. And it gives them confidence that the company is hiring smart people.

This is not to say that Braintree's process is perfect-just that the assumption developers are "suffering through it" to get a great job may be flawed. I personally would much prefer going through an overly exhaustive interview to one that I felt could pick up weak candidates.
