3 to 4 leetcode-lite engineering problems plus a couple of architecture/discussion interviews. I'd say most of the interviewers do a good job of not being elitist/snobby or using impractical problems.

My personal interview problem isn't designed to be tricky, clever, or outside of something you might actually do at work. It's my job to help candidates do their best. I make a point of conducting an above average number of interviews, too.

I refuse to read resumes before interviews unless I'm interviewing the candidate about work experience. I don't want any bias about education or work history.
