Google stopped asking questions like "how many golf balls fit into a plane", but they didn't stop asking puzzles and programming trivia questions.
If you know how to ask these questions, and what insight you're looking for from them, they can be very insightful. Here's the different types of questions and puzzles you should ask, how, and what insight to get from them: https://www.sandglaz.com/blog_posts/104-How-to-interview-and...

"While this sounds great in theory, it leads to developers not being able to do their regular job because they are busy dealing with customer service requests. This really should be a separate position."
It actually works well for us. It adds a little variety to the developers work and gets them in touch with the customer's point of view. I believe, in a startup, it's best if everyone on your team gets some customer contact.

Because big companies are playing a different game. Their position in the market, the amount of money they have, the kind of problems they have...it's all very different from a start-up. And therefore the culture is different. It might be a great culture to work in, it's just not a startup culture.

Giant companies shouldn't pretend to be start-ups or have start-ups cultures.
