I'm a senior dev with 10+ years of experience. I don't do interviews that require a coding portion. It's a little insulting to me. I know what a binary search tree is. I've never written one outside of college, because they're already implemented in the tools I use. I'm not going to waste my company's time doing freshman-year exercises. If I need to know a specific structure or algorithm, I have books filled with hundreds of them. I know how to use a book's index.
I just assume any company that makes you code during the interview for senior positions is looking for a code robot. My skills have advanced beyond that point. I don't want to go back there.
