I encourage everyone to state up front that they refuse such interviews. I have the following disclaimer in my LinkedIn intro: > I have a personal policy against any type of live coding or online coding tests during interviews and I don't enjoy or engage in any form of competitive programming. Otherwise, I am happy to work offline on coding assignments with reasonable goals and deadlines and to have in-depth technical discussions about software architecture and design as well as relevant technologies. Yeah, I’m aware that I can easily get away with it given my current CV, but some companies do care about their candidates and adjust their process as needed. As long as we bend backwards and tolerate any abusive practice, nothing will change.
