You joke about that, but I had a friend who interviewed for a developer Evangelist role at Google, and literally the only stuff that they were asked was algorithms questions.
Yeah, it was a 50% technical role, but Google didn't care about the OTHER 50% of the job at all...
Data structures and algorithms interview questions are the only thing that Google and FB care about.
