Paraphrasing a comment I left elsewhere in this thread, but I've been seeing actual improvement on the state of the art on the much maligned and polarizing algo brain teaser interview. I'm not sure if Karat is the best in this area but I did have a good experience with a company that used them and interviewed me well, but I like that companies are actually incentivized to minimize false positives and negatives rather than just one. I try to tell other engineers that they'd be surprised at how much better a good technical interviewer can be than an average strong engineer, but that goes in roughly two directions: one group can see why the dominant mode exists but is curious about a better way that remedies the shortcoming of the dominant mode; one group defends the dominant mode and gets fairly defensive about criticisms of it.

Can you guess which group is better at technical interviewing and I've found more capable of handling the responsibility of screening talent in the past?
