I agree. It seems better to spend your time investigating the company and to try to obtain information about the interviewers with the purpose to discover some common ground, rather than to learn dozens of algorithms by heart, just to forget the a month later.

Interviewing is a social event at least much as it is a technical one.

Then maybe they should stop asking algorithm questions that can be answered by cramming for a week or a Google search.
