In our interview, we have people from 4 different departments who will talk with the candidate, as well as the team (who is there for the coding portion.)
I honestly don't want to have to test if someone can handle a simple algorithm. (I'm not talking about anything crazy here, mind you.) Can they read code? Can they think about how to test?
I've seen faked code samples, and our test has a half dozen answers on github.
I want to just assume that anybody with five years of programming experience can code, but I've worked alongside enough counterexamples that I know I can't assume that.
That said, I'd really rather not have to deal with it as a candidate or as an interviewer.
