When I was younger I commented to another coworker about how I didn't understand why employers place such high value on the MBA degree when the stuff learned obtaining it isn't all that useful in a real business. My coworker shook his head and laughed at me, saying, "No one hires an MBA because of what they know, you hire an MBA because you know they'll do whatever dumb thing you ask them to without too much complaining or pushback; you're hiring for polished compliance." I think these coding interviewers are more or less the same thing. They prove that the applicant is willing to eat a certain amount of sh*t without making a fuss about it.
