just in July of 2016, an unnamed hedge-fund was hiring architect/programmers.
After a brief review of my resume (I have been in sr management and sr architecture roles for 17 of 25 years, but also code at home) -- was asked to take an online coding test.
The coding test was 2 hours through a interview/code website (forgot the name). They monitored your keystrokes and report to the interviewer when open tabs on web-browser outside of their window.
(I can dig and recall what that website was if others are interested).
The coding problem was basically masqueraded Union Find graph problem. I knew that after about 2 minutes of 'browsing' (as I can translate a functional ask into an existing pattern that's already solved).

Still went ahead trying to implement this by hand.. and failed. So did not get a job.
