This definitely isn't advertised, I interviewed there on Friday for frontend and was presented with an entire wall to write on.

Would have preferred the Chromebook, could have done a final test run of the code, written out params and comments, tests, etc.

You don’t get to actually run the code. They just let you type it in a google doc. I guess it’s not done universally, but it was when I interviewed there.
