Sadly the "ritualistic interview hazing" is just reality how you can get ordinary job today. Usually it have nothing to do with the job itself, it almost always could be solved by just ordinary dialog but for some reason. I don't know if it was someone from HR or some proactive manager thought it would be a wise idea to do this type of tests.

I just started to perceive it as an contest full of stupid useless semi relevant bullshit questions when you win the job. I'm kinda invested in the hate, because I'm currently attending interviews.
