Truth be told I don't interview anywhere with this sort of bullshit process anymore. For the first 10 years of my career sure, I put up with the shit - like many I had no other choice. These days? Fuck it. My rules for switching jobs these days are a) either have someone I know already on the team I'm thinking of moving to, preferably who has referred me or b) have someone I know vouch for the founders/direct manager/etc and assure me it's worth my time to talk to them. There are some exceptions, companies that steward or are significant contributors to OSS projects I have contributed to or are in a new niche I'm interested in but for bog standard "I need a 9-5 to pay bills" I'm just going to stick to places someone in my network can vouch for. The interview rat race just isn't for me and if I'm leaving some money on the table because of that so be it, my sanity is worth more than some extra $.
