Just don't apply to those companies, you probably wouldn't like it there anyway. In fact that interviewing style is being abandoned, see here the case of Google: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2346126/Google-abandons-job-interview-brainteasers-company-admits-completely-useless.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2346126/Google-aband... So why invest so much time and effort in preparation for an interviewing style that is only practiced by a small minority of employers. Its a big world out there. One alternative: become a freelance, as those interviews are usually only for employees, and you tend to take a lot less bulshit being interviewed as a freelance, things are kept much more to the point. Alternativelly, take this course at Coursera, lots of food for thought there -> https://www.coursera.org/course/algs4partI https://www.coursera.org/course/algs4partI Still for those interviews you indeed need to prepare: buy books on how to do those interviews, practice at home, etc. remember it has nothing to do with on the job day to day work, its just an absurd silly game.
