I'm not personally involved in the hiring for that position, but I feel like the hiring in general is fair and straightforward. No obtuse puzzles, riddles and whiteboard style interviews. We mostly want culture fit first, willingness to learn and grow second (with an exception for when we're looking for a specific skill, like the Azure developer position). We've hired people with different tech stack backgrounds, for example.

How does your alternative hiring path work?

The alternative path is pretty simple. We decided that we wanted to get out of the traditional interview process that no one on the team felt was all that great. So we came up with a simple plan. If you want a job we will give one to you. First step is we have an exploratory conversation to make sure you understand what your getting into and make sure you understand the requirements. Then if there is still interest we will ask for at least one reference that can talk about your past job performance. We will sign the candidate to an agreeable contract not to exceed three months, and at any point during that contract if either party feels its not working out they can cancel the contract. At the end of three months the candidate would be brought onboard if thats what everyone still wanted. The idea is if we explain what we are looking for and are very up front about the requirements you will either have enough confidence to take us up on the job risking unemployment if you can't perform or your will be able to really show your capabilities in a way that no two hour interview is capable of showing.

Just a note of caution - My personal experience with TW is not good. I never heard back from their HR (Bangalore) after sending resume, despite multiple reminders (I am fine to get back a rejection).

My friend (ex-microsoft) had similar experience with them - HR went radio silent mid-way through his interview process (again TW Bangalore office).
