I skip any and all interviews that require math, algorithms, or anything else. First of all, I'm an infra / devops engineer and not a full-time software developer. Secondly, I've never used this stuff.

And thirdly - because it's a proxy for intelligence by people who think they're smart for having memorized sorting algorithms.

Who wants to work in a place where people who memorize things are conceived of as smarter than people who didn't memorize the same thing at the same time interval (i.e. cramming before interview or just out of college?)

Fuck those places, I'd rather work with human beings.
