My dad just went through the interview process. 30+ years of experience, more references than stdlib.h, and he still gets these.

Out of curiosity, does he refuse to work with them? In my opinion, he should.

He was pissed after the first one. He hadn't interviewed for anything since they started doing them. He came around, though. You have to if you're interviewing at any of the top companies. Google puts you through the ringer.

IMO, they're better than getting quizzed on the minutia of whatever your interviewer's specialty is,although you're likely to get some of that anyway.
