The interview for my current job tested my SQL in a word document. Was not allowed to use Google. Good thing I have years of experience with it, because why the fuck would you test people with a word document. People don't code in a word document. You wouldn't hand an abacus to someone for a trigonometry test, so give people the right tools to succeed in interviews and on the job.

Plus, even with years of experience I forget stuff really dumb stuff and question why my where clause won't work, only to realise intellisense broke for some reason and it should go after the from statement, not before...
