I'm working on Google ads where a ,,minor detail'' in an algorithm implementation can easily cost $50000/day loss. It also means that the experiment has to be stopped, everything fixed, tested, approved again, which can easily take a month to get correctly, so a lot of time is lost. I'm not saying the interviewing system is perfect, but getting edge cases right in a big system is critical.
