Imo the industry should consider a more cooperative process that involves larger real world problems with the interviewer working with the interviewee to work through the problem, teaching them even, if need be, to get to an acceptable solution. Big tech interviews can already run almost a day long and the phone test is just a whiteboard lite. I feel like the face to face time is kind of wasted on an open ended examination format rather than trying to find out a developer's temperament, behavior, and openness in a real work environment where they will be expected to work constructively with peers. Given a lot of companies have separate design and behavioral interviews, with the former probably being close to my idea already.
I just hate the technical beat stick that is the whiteboard test, feels like going up in front of the class in data structures and algorithms classes
