FizzBuzz is best asked during the interview, possibly with a whiteboard. It has nothing to do with our business.


I'm talking about complex algorithms here. Not something simple like FizzBuzz. Besides, I hope FizzBuzz (or something similarly simple) could be done via an initial phone screen. If you need to see the code fire up some sort of collaboration tool. It seems like a waste of everyone's time if they come in for an in person and they fail at FizzBuzz.
