It is not really possible to cram for these interviews. No matter how much you cram, the process will usually tease out the real you, because a group of people will evaluate you and debate your performance at the end of it. If you got in with cramming, you very likely would have gotten in without. Not to mean otherwise; one should definitely prepare for the process, because interviews are competitive. There is no worthwhile competition on the planet where you would go without preparation. It is almost insulting to the ecosystem if you don't prepare. But preparation is not cramming. Depending on your level of practice, you may end up memorizing some things, but that is different from cramming to "beat the process". I make these observations based on my experience as someone who runs a successful bootcamp for interview prep (http://interviewkickstart.com http://interviewkickstart.com) and being an early engineer and a hiring manager (Director of engineering) at Box prior to that. We have seen that candidates who prepare well with the right mindset, are at a distinct advantage over those who don't. And those are also often the right candidates. If you are working on an important goal, I, as an engineering manager, want you to have prepared for it. Interviews/job are just another goal, and it better be important for you that you want a job here. Hope this helps; not a popular perspective, but closer to reality in my experience.
