As someone who recently interviewed for a major internet company, I can report that every interview I took included the requirement for me to write code (real code, with semicolons) on the white board, in front of the interviewers.

- karlkatzke 11y agoI haven't seen any difference. I interviewed late last year for a bunch of positions. Many of the programming problems required knowledge of major math theorems and proofs. My education didn't include these things (things that aren't normally dependencies of the job) and as a result, I failed those interviews. Interviews that did not include this dependency resulted in offer letters 100% of the time.
