I currently work for Google, and enjoy whiteboard interview questions. When the questions are well designed there should be a relatively trivial, brute-force solution. As that solution is explored, it should highlight a bottleneck (time, space, etc.) that leads naturally to a more elegant solution. I really enjoy the excitement of finding the inflection point between the two. In addition, be aware that Google now offers Chromebooks for interviews at many locations, in case folks are more comfortable typing than writing. A recruiter can confirm if that option will be available. (See https://careers.google.com/how-we-hire/interview/#onsite-int...)
