I don't agree that programming interviews are conducted to see how well candidates will fare in a dysfunctional workplace. Anecdotally, programmers thrive in quiet environments where they can have focused uninterrupted time. As open-offices have become the norm, most programmers have headphones they use to isolate background sounds. Constantly peppering candidates with questions while they are trying to do a task that is mentally intensive is not close to the type of stress candidates face on the job. Even the most work-life balanced places do these same types of interviews.
