I'm very sympathetic to the idea that a more objective test like interview format eliminates bias from the interviewer, as well as the idea it allows introverts or those not as well versed in storytelling to be successful opposed to traditional 'sell yourself' interviews.
However, it's a huge waste of time when so many of the questions are the same. I get it, every company wants to know if I can turn a list into a balanced BST, it's not an unfair question, it's not particularly hard, but I really get annoyed I have to keep solving it over and over.
I really wish there was some certifying body that would put me through the whiteboard guantlet once, and then I could just share my score to companies I apply to.
