I know a company that use fizzbuzz and only fizzbuzz as their technical exercise. The people who are going to fail a technical fail at fizzbuzz.

I cant say its perfect... But they have a really great Clojure team and everyone else seems to have a difficult time hiring for it. They IPO'ed last year too...

not complaining about fizzbuzz at all, but this is just a PSA to tell the interviewer to end the interview if the candidate gets a good solution in 5 minutes. Adding this "but can you tweak it moooooore" mess is just awkward and the candidate hasn't seen two dozen iterations from all the other candidates.
