Front-end Dev:
"Please make Sudoku solver algorithm that checks the weather and mines bitcoin. We have a gun to your head. you have 25 minutes. We are only looking for ROCKSTARS only. After this we have scheduled for 4 more meetings with 8 more devs who each have concocted SUPER ALGO questions you will not be doing in your day to day."
Hey, candidate, look k at this script. Is there any mistake?
...No.
Are you shure?
...I guess mistake is here, it could be rewritten like this...
Are you shure?
Yes? And refactor this place...
Are you shure it's all?
...Shit, I'm get out of here!
Is that an amarican thing? I had some interviews in Germany and they first wanted to know me on a personal basis and asked how experienced I would consider myself. When they think that I'm a good fit for the job they invited me to a one day (or half a day) work trial and gave me typical development tasks for the job.
I think that this works very well because you don't have to study for the interview and the employer can see how well you fit in the team, what your thought processes are and how clean your code is
The interview process. 9 times out of 10 they'll test me on something I'll never do while working there.

American mostly. I also had the same experience when I interviewed with a company in Indonesia.
Agreed the interview process is convoluted and broken.
