I've long made a pact with myself: the moment an interview process includes a whiteboard part, I walk out and tell them it's because of the whiteboard. At this point they either want me enough to hire me anyway or it is a better outcome for both parties when I don't work there.
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
The people in charge of the interview process may well not represent the rest of the company or its culture. At at least one place where I worked, the interviews were done by tech-savvy senior management without involving any of the day-to-day development team at all, which resulted in us employing a lot of people who never lasted their probationary period.
In the trenches, it was still a good team to work for :)
