Our technical assessment tries to mirror day-to-day contributions as much as we can. It asks the candidate to build a _very_ stripped down version of our core product experience. The follow-up interview is to assess team collaboration and pairs the candidate with a Designer and Engineer to enhance what they built in the challenge round.
I applied to Instacart through this list, but won't be going forward with their process. The recruiter, documents that recruiter sent, and further research on Blind, Glassdoor, etc. indicate that they do tech screens through a 3rd party (karat), so you don't even talk to an engineer at the company. Apparently in that screen CS knowledge/topic questions are asked and you're expected to get through 2 leetcode-esque questions in 30 or so minutes. None of this "resembles day-to-day work" to me.
I don't think that this process fits the spirit of this list at all, but at the very least there's a mismatch in the real process and what's describes here.
I interviewed at Aurora Solar a bout 3 months ago. They use a whiteboarding session. Seems like they're calling it "pair programming" but it's not that... the other person just asked a few questions and sat silently as I coded the solution.... so not pair programming. It's a white boarding session.
As part of the hiring process Unito has a paid take home project, and the employee is given access to a chat room to talk about it with other employees who are meant to guide and help him.
