There are some solutions out there for people that do not want to do whiteboard algorithms or take home projects. There are interview processes like codebase-projects [0] which you contribute to a company repository. Most companies pay you for the day. There definitely seems to be something wrong, in that a lot of companies don't bother at all in getting to know you. But there are a few out there that do make interviewing a two-way street, and make you feel like you aren't wasting your time.

You bring up an interesting hiring process. I have not considered giving it emphasis. From what I've compiled so far, I have found that thoughtbot also anonymizes applications. They still accept a resume, but they redact things like names, school information, pronouns. Basically anything that would distinguish a person unfairly.

They also have a more in-depth application than usual tech companies. I've compiled their interview process here[0].

I will be monitoring this thread to see what other companies are there and may add a new filter. If you're looking for different hiring practices, I hope [0] could serve as a good resource.
