I feel that it's mostly a certain part of the tech scene. FAANG companies, startups, and those cargo-culting those. I've actually been to dev. interviews that were 1-2 interviews long, almost zero technical questions. Now, those places were in now way "prestigious", or paying $250k starting salaries. Just your garden variety F500 companies / gov. agencies / non-tech companies. Also, my experience with "traditional" engineering companies have been similar, 1/10th duration of tech interviews, some fundamental questions related to your trade, then mostly questions on personality, you experience, etc. The closest I've been to tech, was finance. It's very much a predictable process - you know what kind of questions you'll be asked, what the next round will include, and all that...but still not anywhere near the rigor of prestigious or trendy tech firms.
