In the USA, do most companies whiteboard/LeetCode? In Canada, it seems that only a minority of (admittedly top) companies do. At least up here, not being able to do algos is a barrier to top tier employment, but certainly not employment in general.

In the SFBA, it's almost mandatory for every company that I've interviewed at. (100+)

The rest of the country has high variance. It will also depend on the company you're targeting. A lot of target companies have a leetcode interview style (I presume every other interview style has too high of a pass rate).
