I don't like open ended coding interviews because they are too easy to game. I assume that a place with this style of interview is full of people who gamed the system, and that makes me not want to work there. This is more of an emotional reaction, but it makes me less likely to complete a coding exercise. And if I feel that way, that makes me think the company is less competitive in attracting the kind of people I'd like to work with.
