A list of companies (or teams) that don’t do “whiteboard” interviews. “Whiteboards” is used as a metaphor, and is a symbol for the kinds of CS trivia questions that are associated with bad interview practices. Whiteboards are not bad – CS trivia questions are. Using sites like HackerRank/LeetCode probably fall into a similar category.

The companies and teams listed here use interview techniques and questions that resemble day-to-day work. For example, pairing on a real world problem or a paid/unpaid take home exercise. Read (and contribute to) our recommendations for ways to conduct better interviews.

tl;dr

• Discussing a real world problem (with or without whiteboard) is 👍
• Solving CS trivia, technical puzzles, riddles, brainteasers (with or without whiteboard) is 👎

Please open a PR to be added.
