We don’t have algorithm problems at our coding interview but they are relatively simple problems. You’d be surprised how a simple problem _does_ filter candidates that can “bluff” their way up to an actual co-sign interview. In my limited experience it can give the interviewer valuable Info. Also, at my company this serves as a jumping off point for other questions. Scaling, concurrency, networking etc. All great for seeing breadth of knowledge and problem solving/talking through a solution type skills which I think are relevant in day to day work.
