I could stomach going through all the algorithms and data structures that I learned many years ago even though we don't use most of them just for fun, but what I can't stand is the time pressure. There is no way in real life somebody will write a complex algo like that in 45 minutes. Their process is just so broken.
100% agree with all of you in this. I was once rejected for "taking too long to dive into coding." I was only given 20 minutes to solve an algorithm, and was clarifying input and output, edge cases, and pseudocoding before implementing.
