A thought occurred tine that maybe these types of interviews aim to filter for specific people. An H1B from Asia will have the motivation to memorize "Cracking the Coding Interview" as well as the pressure to stay and say yes to everything. This creates a distortion at the IC level. At the management level, the filters create another distortion for cultures that heavily bias statis and grouo standing (rather than get a paycheck and do the minimum to stay). At the final leadership level there isnt even another filter from the managers. The candidates come through entirely other channels, usually network related.
