Whiteboard interviews would be fine if they weren't taken so damn literally. Writing code on the board is dumb. Spitballing solutions to a problem collaboratively and with access to reference resources (a nice little programmer's bookshelf in the room) followed by actually coding a little bit up seems that it would be way less stressful and way more likely to give you a sense as to what someone is capable of and what they're like to work with.
