I went through the process & got some attractive offers. I had mixed thoughts overall. Initially, they told me the benefit was I can avoid white boarding & on site coding challenges, however all the companies had their own white boarding or coding challenges. The hotel they put me in was in the Tenderloin, a bad part of town. I had lunch with Triple Byte & they were all very nice. Overall it was a positive experience so much so that I did not submit my urban fee/uber costs for reimbursement, seeing as I got offers on the upper end of their range & still turned them down. Going through their process has easily made me 2x as strong of a developer & helped me recognize my own worth.
