This has other sides as well:
* Excelling through the test never to hear from the company again.
* Being (as admitted by the manager in the interview) one of two qualified candidates, the other one being from a somewhere a few hours away by plane, and then get a really cheap offer.
* being asked in a disbelieving tone if I can still code after working as a system engineer for a while. (yeah, give me an assignment already.)
I'd love to be in more interviews where I could win just by coding small small samples or discuss code on the whiteboard (that is as long as nobody is nitpicking about things that any decent IDE will catch.)
