I don't mind being asked "Hello World" or fizz-buzz, so long as things ramp up quickly from there. If I'm interviewing for a senior position, and the interviewer insists on slogging through a bunch of trivia questions about algorithms and data structures, or, $DIETY forbid, trick questions, then that's usually an indication I'm wasting my time. But I won't ever blame somebody for starting with the assumption that I might be a complete idiot, because I've seen too many people that could talk a good talk, but somehow couldn't code anything to save their life.
