I conduct this style of interviews. It's easy to complain, but much hard to propose better options. Most alternative hiring proposals do not meet the fundamental criteria of Big 4 hiring: they must reject approximately 99% of applicants while consuming an average of two hours of engineer-time per candidate.

In a sense maybe this is how it should be. The interview should reflect the company's culture. The candidate is trying to make a decision just as much as the company is.
