> I think you could devise the pair programming type interview to still allow for 1 hour chunks I try and do my interviews this way. While I am required to use the whiteboard and the interviewee is required to write on it, I try to make it as clear as possible that we can brainstorm/strategize on the problem together. Of course I've asked the same few questions probably 100 times now and have seen them solved every which way so I have to play a little dumb sometimes. Same problem occurs in a "real" pair programming environment too, though. Interviewing is hard, and it's easy to throw stones at companies who don't do it the way you want it done.
