By the time we get to the whiteboard problem we've already assessed technical skills as well as we can. The whiteboard problem is to test their fit on the team. It has worked well for us and certainly weeded out some people who could have been problematic culturally. Is that a "failing?" Maybe we lost some more technically skilled individuals that way, but our team isn't exactly lacking because of it.
