I had a fantastic experience recently with a company that had an interview process very much like Stripe's: http://www.quora.com/Stripe-company/What-is-the-engineering-interview-process-like-at-Stripe.<p>Two hours ago I had the exact opposite experience with a company that conducted a far more traditional interview.<p>I am considering changing my job search strategy such that I <i>only</i> consider companies whose hiring strategy is similar to Stripe's. However….is this a sane thing to do? Are there many tech companies who have adopted Stripe's strategy? Don't suppose anyone has a list of such companies?
I've done something similar and it has worked very well for me. Whether or not it's sane depends on your needs/savings/etc.<p>Honestly I'd said don't look for "only Stripe-like interview processes" but look for the tells that can give away the information you care about and don't be shy about ending the process.<p>I've started ending interview processes when I see that the company has poor internal communication skills, expects unreasonable, or has to roundabout-reason in favor of, ideologies, etc. This has allowed me to weed out companies that aren't a match faster and find companies that I want to work with.
