⭐️ Companies that don't have a broken hiring process
A community-maintained list of companies that conduct practical engineering interviews instead of CS trivia and algorithm puzzles. It's a reference doc disguised as a GitHub repo — the 'code' is a Node script that probably alphabetizes entries. Useful if you're job hunting and want to filter your target list.
50k stars means the list is well-known enough that companies actively want to be on it, which creates a self-selection effect — companies that care about their reputation tend to be listed. The RECOMMENDATIONS.md is a worthwhile read for anyone designing an interview process. The contributing workflow is clear and low-friction. Stale bot and PR template show the maintainers are trying to keep it from rotting.
There's no verification mechanism — a company self-submits and stays listed until someone who had a bad experience opens a PR to remove them, which rarely happens. The list is enormous and unsorted beyond alphabetical order, with no filtering by role, location, or interview type. Many entries are years old with dead career page links. The JavaScript in this repo is just a linting/sorting script — calling this a JavaScript project is a stretch.
