I've gone through exactly one of these types of interviews, and that was at a FAANG. I have since turned down every single offer to interview with a company that did something similar. The one time I did so by phone, it was kind of amusing (and telling) that the company's headhunter was utterly shocked that I was unwilling to fly across the country to do some whiteboard sessions with the team. They clearly targeted FAANG washouts, and weren't accustomed to speaking with a senior developer who could afford to be picky about the interviews he took. The important thing is, there are plenty of companies that don't pretend to be FAANGs, and don't interview like that. Odds are pretty good that working for them won't be like working at a FAANG either, which (imho) is also a good thing.
