I’ve had a lot of good interviews. Most have gone something like this: phone conversation just to make sure I understand the job and they understand a little of my history, phone screen with basic technical questions, in person interview with one or more people, phone call or email with a decision later.

I’ve never been asked to whiteboard in twenty years of applying for and getting hired for development (coding ) positions. I’ve only had to do a take home project twice.

It’s a good process for me. A week or so from beginning to end. Sometimes there’s a recruiter at the start which is inefficient for me, but not enough to make me pass.

Is it a good process for the company, though? Do they get good hires who perform well?
