> No interviewing software developer prefers an extra 6 hours of on-site interview to an off-site coding challenge.

I'd prefer it, since if I pass the coding challenge, I'm likely in for a airplane flight and an on-site interview anyway, so I've still lost that time from my life in addition to the time spent on the coding challenge. Unless the coding challenge is conducted INSTEAD of an on-site hazing session, in which case, well, E-mail in profile!

You're always going to get flown out. But the hazing session might take 2 hours instead of 8, and won't involve you coding on a whiteboard.

Very good companies can tell you over the phone after you finish work sample challenges what your odds are of getting an offer.
