no wait. this is about live competitions, not about job interviews.
the interview is about the interaction on a CS topic. how do you express yourself, verbally and in code? that's not: can you crank your the highest performance solution in the shortest amount of time.
If I remember correctly, it was actually slightly negativity correlated with work quality because extremely talented competitive programmers would smash the interviews but write competitive programming style code (aka not enterprise quality).[1]
