There are absolutely people out there who expect that — and they are usually the ones who can’t figure out why they can’t find anyone to fill their position. A lot of times a manager won’t interview someone until their people have, and it’s those front line people that are always the worst because they are fresh out of college and just like school they expect you to answer random questions from memory, obscure questions to make sure you didn’t just study up, and if your % correct is too low then goodbye. A lot of times they are the gate keepers to otherwise good positions, so helps to be prepared for them. Once your hired you can go turn down the brightness on their monitors to mess with them.
