Online coding tests (I refuse to do them now, though I'll happily provide samples of my source code):

- You never know how it's going to be judged (style, efficiency, error handling, abstraction, thread-safety, type-safety, commenting, etc).

- You're given a very short time-limit, but well-designed, maintainable software is almost never written like that.

- etc., etc.
