## What it is
A community-curated list of companies and teams whose technical hiring processes avoid whiteboard-style CS trivia and LeetCode-style puzzles, favoring realistic exercises like pairing or take-home projects. It is maintained via pull requests and includes links to each company's careers page along with descriptions of their interview process.

## Use cases
- find companies that don't do whiteboard interviews
- search for tech jobs with take-home interviews instead of leetcode
- research interview processes before applying to engineering roles
- avoid companies using HackerRank-style coding puzzles in interviews
- find employers with realistic technical assessments
- prepare a job search targeting humane interview practices

## When to choose
- you are a software engineer job hunting and want to filter out companies with puzzle-based interviews
- you want to research what a company's interview process is like before applying
- you prefer take-home or pair-programming style assessments over live algorithm challenges

## When to avoid
- you are looking for software to run or manage interviews rather than a reference list
- you need verified, up-to-date hiring information - entries are community-contributed and may be stale
- you want interview preparation material or practice problems rather than a list of companies
