    Good books for Google/Amazon Interview(onsite): Apart from CLR and Skiena's algorithms book, I would recommend the following books focussed on real coding interviews questions which contains great details(real questions with real answers as expected by the google/amazon interviewer):   * Top 10 coding interview problems asked in Google with solutions: Algorithmic Approach By Dr Lin Quan   * Elements of Programming Interviews: 300 Questions and Solutions By Adnan et al.   * Programming Pearls By Dr Bentley   * More Programming Pearls By Dr Bentley These books helped me greatly in my Amazon's onsite interview recently. Practicing topcoders questions can be an additional help if it suits individual interest.

    Thanks Nikil for the info.   It will be helpful to get the next job. A few comments though.  I think that you and many hiring managers are missing the overall point of an interview and have turned it into a psychological game.   You obvously love the process and you've got a track record of hiring good people.  Great.  But you've probably disqualified many who would have been able to do the work and the downside is that more effort on your staff is required to find that perfect person.  A lot of these problems (eg. fibonacci) are very schoolish and have no relationship to what an engineer is really called upon to do.   And "thinking on his/her feet" is irrlevant.  We're hiring an engineer, not a live tv gameshow host. I find the best engineers are those who know HOW to attack a problem, where to find the information, how to be innovative and how to see the 10,000 foot view.   If someone needs to code a binary tree, they can look it up on the internet in 10 seconds so a person who can regurgitate it for you on a white board during a stressful interview does not prove they can solve real world problems. In summary, I think there should be less emphasis on code tests, especially for experienced people.

    Thanks for the input Randall. You are right that knowing how to solve a problem is important (and perhaps the most critical aspect). But to know a good candidate from a not so good one (and that too in 45 mins to 1 hour) you also need additional parameters. Also, when hiring a programmer, the most significant ability you are hiring is to program. Whether Fibonacci is a good question (or some generic business problem) can be debated for sure. But you need to demonstrate the ability that you can think on your feet. Most jobs today require you to do that, so it is not that far fetched.
