My opinion - Why is the process so bad? Hiring technical talent is flat out difficult. Even for the best companies. Thus, attempt after attempt has been made to figure out "the right way" to screen candidates to prevent bad hires. It started with algorithmic interviews. Then, we tried take home assignments. Now, lots of companies are doing pair programming type scenarios including a code review for a more accurate representation of a day on the job. Still, there hasn't been this silver bullet companies are looking for to solve their hiring woes. I don't know the solve. There's also a large problem with those doing the interviewing being either untrained or unempathetic to the candidates.
