&gt; The whiteboard interview is setup to minimize false positives.<p>I have yet to see evidence that it actually does this.  Everything I have seen so far is of the form, &quot;$BIG_COMPANY does whiteboard interviews, $BIG_COMPANY hires few bad people, therefore whiteboard interviews minimize false positives&quot;.  The problem is, that says nothing about the effect the whiteboard interview has on doing this.  Would the rate change if it were removed?  Would the change make the rate worse or better?
