It may well have been Mixpanel. I applied to them and they sent me a non-Triplebyte quiz before having any human contact with me (not even a personal email). It was horribly designed; all edge-case language trivia and multiple choice design questions. Needless to say I didn't pass, and I will never go near them again.
Edit: fixed the formatting
I'm not sure if the fault lies with Triplebyte or Mixpanel but it was an overall shitty experience. To be asked to take out your time to complete a quiz (which can be automatically scored with an algorithm since its multiple choice) and then get radio silence is terrible. Even if it was Mixpanel's fault, they should ensure their partners actually follow up with interviewers. For example, I know that Hired (another platform) actually will ding an employer that doesn't respond to applicants.
Anyways, Mixpanel & Triplebyte are probably on my "never apply to again ever" list.
