> Triplebyte culls out as much of the process as you can realistically expect to be culled i.e. everything before the final onsite interviews.

Which is what? A short chat with the recruiter and an 1 hour phone interview.

With TripleByte instead you get something like, an online questionnaire, 1 two-week project and one 4 hour video interview. (Please correctly me if I don't have it exactly right).

How is this an advantage if you still have to do a call with the recruiter/company, and then on-site interviews?

> the main value was in getting contacted by companies that wouldn't have otherwise contacted me

That alone is a solid reason to use Triplebyte.

You indeed don't have it exactly right :) There are no 1 two-week project and our final interview is 2 hours, not 4.

Oh, apologies!

I do remember doing a two(or maybe one) week project, and could swear that my final interview was more than 2 hours. Maybe the process changed since I last interviewed?
