I find in the interviews that the Americans like to ask questions based on what you learnt in college. It's almost like a test on your university abilities. The tests on your ability to do the actual job seem to be rather scarce. Your ability to remember different sorting algorithms is much more important. > It seems they expect interviewees to scream out loud that they are the greatest programmer the world has ever seen! It is the American way to tell everyone how great you are and then once you have kids, you have to tell everyone how great they are. I suppose it is to be expected in what was/is a competitive capitalist market. If I interviewed in the UK and told everyone how great I am, it would be a sure fire way to not get the job. Some US companies have a tendency to ask questions that are tricky or are obscure. Even worse is the interview that is completely overloaded with buzzwords and jargon.
