Maybe. I did TripleByte, the usual process everyone is talking about. That led to 30 minute calls with a bunch of potential employers, then I selected 2-3 of them to do on-sites. The on-sites were single day technical whiteboarding sessions + lunch (taking 6-8 hours total, exhausting), then I got offers from those companies.

When I've gone to FAANG companies, I've gone through a lot more per company to receive an offer. Multiple visits to each campus, lunches, technical sessions, spanning potentially weeks or months. Overall I think TB saved a lot of time and I really enjoyed the process.

Of course, now they've really shot themselves in the foot.
