Netflix was pretty great, I recommend everyone apply there. I don't even work there.

Their live coding questions were

1. Either practical , or core CS stuff. No fancy algorithms, just basic stuff you'd get in a CS 101 DS&A class.

2. Collaborative. No one cared about perfect code or syntax, it was very relaxed and dare I say fun (if it wasn't for the nerves).

3. System design was practical and a good back and forth.

The interviews were challenging overall, but nothing they asked seemed unfair or about memorization either.

Certainly coding under pressure sucks, but I don't think there's a better way.
