Yeah I thought many times about a standardised interview process. There are pros and cons in such system though.
Would the exam be broad or go deep, would it test all kind of coding problems or would there be categories?
In a way Big Tech's interview process is this standardised test, but once you go a tier lower, the interview process is a wild west. Much easier questions, and much more conversational interview which introduces a lot more bias and subjectiveness.
In every company I have been, this has been proposed in some form, and the argument is always that the current coding questions approach is a reliable way to filter out a lot of the unwanted candidates, at the cost of also rejecting some very capable engineers. It's an accepted trade-off.
