I'm not interested neither in Competitive programming nor in companies who do these kind of interviews, so I can't really give you any advice here. Another advice - just skip over those places. There are tons of companies which don't do this SV-bubble whiteboard stuff.

This method of interviewing may not be perfect, but i think this is really a good way to filter the candidates out. Whats your ideal(or near to ideal) interview would be which can filter the candidates out.

It might be more or less suitable for fresh grads. But not for self-taught and especially not for mid-career professionals. The best interviews I had was concentrating on discussing previous projects and experience. Paid projects also could be a good way for some. A very simple fizzbuzz like task can be used as a first step for contacting - to eliminate CV flood.
