If you're stuck interviewing at a company that has these:

1. Try to suggest an alternative, e.g. "here's some algorithm code I provably wrote, let me explain it". Works better if you have open source contributions.

2. Learn how to take control of the interview so whiteboarding isn't as bad. I have a writeup of how I do it, but basically I explain I will write tests, then write code, then go through tests. This helps show off testing skills, but also means you look good even if your algorithm solution isn't perfect immediately. Full writeup: https://codewithoutrules.com/2016/04/04/interview-puzzles/
