I find it's usually a signal that:

* The company is cargo culting Google or it is Google, in which case it's cargo culting hunting down people like Larry and Sergey.

* The company makes decisions based upon safety in numbers. "Everybody" interviews this way, so if you're worried about justifying your process in future, it's a safe option.

* If this system selected me for a $200k / year job, it can't be all that bad.

* It does correlate somewhat with ability.



Also it's a standardized test to prevent bias. HR could've pushed for it too.
