People complain about Google style of interviewing but I like the idea that you can at least prepare for them. I'm sure there are many companies that wouldn't even consider because you're too old or because you don't have the right background.

Yeah, I have a suspicion that this is the only reason why people still use it.

The signal that it is measuring is "How much did you prepare to get this job." Which isn't that bad of a signal.
