I went through TripleByte 2 years ago and got much the same feedback. I was left with the same feelings, on top of the feeling of having wasted a bunch of time. TripleByte only makes sense if it can fast track you to enough companies to make the investment worthwhile. And, even then, I think, at the time (maybe still now), they only let you skip technical phone screens. Never mind that their process is more or less equivalent to the standard tech on-site (which, IMO, means it should at least count for something at the client companies.)
