I&#x27;d hardly call it proper. You&#x27;re asked to code some stupid problems in a Google Doc (which is extremely bad at handling code), while the other person&#x27;s waiting around on the other line impatiently, asking stupid questions like &#x27;how can you make this faster?&#x27; If that&#x27;s a proper interview, I&#x27;d hate to see what&#x27;s improper. At the very least, they should give you quiet time to work alone. I don&#x27;t expect to be working while someone else is talking to me, asking me questions, or breathing down my neck, but apparently this is a required skill at Google and most other places that use such idiotic &quot;interviewing&quot; techniques. I&#x27;m certain they are losing out on a lot of great talent simply because of this.
