I'm not a fan of leetcode questions on a whiteboard, and I personally don't ask those. However for an online automated assessment, provided the question is reasonably time-boxed and not too crazy, I think that's fine, on both side of the interviews.
The questions available at CodeWars page seem the best for me: They are no "gotcha," algorithmic questions (except the higher level ones) and they allow for a good amount of problem solving.
The ones at LeerCode are asinine... oh, you dont remember Dynamic programming? Tough luck. Even if you really wont use it at all.
It has to be simple, not too hard. That first test is basically a screening. Will I invest an engineer's hour to try to figure you out?
Then, if you get to a whiteboard challenge, in those the end result is not usually what matters, but the process of problem solving is what you typically look for.
Can we communicate effectively? Will you thrive here?
The only price I watch is 2x6x10 cedar. They were up to $51 back in April, now they're back down to $33. Still seems high but good enough for me to get back to my projects.
