I'm interested to know if the context of the role that is interviewed for is taken into account. I mean, the skills required to implement a large scale distributed database engine are very different to implementing, say, an accounting solution (an app). I have personally been in interviews in the past to be interviewed by a "software scientist" for a role that was primarily high level business logic based, but, because of the interviewers background, the interview was full of puzzles, algorithms and whiteboard tests, completely divorced from the actual role that was being hired for. I.e, he was interviewing for a software scientist (like himself) where the company clearly needed someone with experience in building products. This is basically my biggest gripe with interviews in the past ten or so years, companies who think they are Google, hiring like they are Google but are not solving anything near the scope of what Google does.
