I agree that those kinds of interviews suck, but you also need to understand the other side of the story. Interviewing 100s or 1000s of candidates is very time-consuming. If a company can filter out some of the candidates in an automated way - they'll probably do it. And I don't think that this means that the company is a bad place to work in. Everyone just wants to save time where they can and improve the process.
I hear you, but I think a non-timed code challenge would work fine. I suppose that they do the timed challenge because they don’t trust people to come up with the solution on their own. Like if yo give someone a week to do a challenge then they can google a ton of things.
But I like to work for companies that operate on trust and forgiveness.

Sure, but why time it instead of giving the candidate the opportunity to solve it without these constraints
I agree with that. I only wanted to address it to the part about not being interviewed by a human :)
Exactly.
