The problem is so many other companies have copied this practice because hey, Google asks brainteasers and gets the best candidates, so we should do it too!

The software engineering job market has gone through some incredibly fast changes in only the last 10-15 years, and we will likely never perfect the process as the landscape changes, but I guess the optimist in me believes that at least some companies are doing their best.
