Assuming you don’t pass 100% of on site interviews or you don’t take the first offer immediately, triplebyte will save you some amount of time. Beyond the force multiplier for pre-onsite interviews, they also can predict which companies you will have a higher success rate with for your on site. It’s not a guaranteed slam dunk for every single person (and you still have to pass their process) but I think the value proposition is pretty obvious to most people.

>"Assuming you don’t pass 100% of on site interviews or you don’t take the first offer immediately, triplebyte will save you some amount of time." How exactly do they save me time? Can you elaborate? >"Beyond the force multiplier for pre-onsite interviews, they also can predict which companies you will have a higher success rate with for your on site." What is the "force multiplier" here? Again this is a job where you will spend many hours of your life, should the only concern be the one whose interview I will have the highest success rate with? >"... but I think the value proposition is pretty obvious to most people." Again what is that? It's not obvious to me. I am asking sincerely.

  Let me try to answer: Say you plan to interview at Apple, Facebook, Dropbox, and Stripe. Lets say each company requires 2 rounds of interviews. Without these guys, you're doing two rounds at each company = 8 interviews. With these guys, you do one round with them, and one round with each of the companies = 5 interviews. If that's how Triplebyte works, it would be a huge time saver.

    Does every engineer unquestionably want to work for any and all 4 of those companies? Aren't these very different companies? Is there any significant commonality here other than Tripplebyte has some connection at all of these?

      Pick N other companies, then. As long as TripleByte has this kind of relationship with at least 2 of them, it's a time saver. I could easily see myself interviewing for 20 companies in a single job search. Needing only one "pre-screen" for all of them would be nothing short of miraculous.

        Let's say you avoided interviewing with 4 future team mates from company Company A by using Tripplebyte. And come to find out most of those 4 people you didn't have a chance to interact with during the interview process are completely toxic and unprofessional. You only find this out after you have accepted the job. If you find yourself looking for a new job again in month then Tripplebyte hasn't really saved you any time have they? I am not sure where this idea comes form that just because the company is "Apple, Facebook, Dropbox and Stripe" does not automatically mean that everyone on every team is a great personally or one you would want to work with. When I interview with a company and I don't think I am alone in this I am also interviewing the company. I am thinking "are these people I could work with?" The novelty of working on Big S.V. Company eventually wears off and if it's a bad fit for you on personality or culture then you are either going to be unhappy, looking for a new job or both. I and I imagine many others are OK with a slower process if it means being able to make a better informed decision.
