But I'm not a fan of people stating that see these kinds of tests as an attack, or see it as something which is unnecessary. There are a lot of people out there are unable to answer these questions, even with "google". And most of them are either unwilling or unable to improve themselves.
I'd rather have a very eager "junior" who loves what he does, and works hard to understand and develop him/herself than someone "senior" who knows a couple of tricks and is too arrogant to do these kinds of tests.
You keep people if:
* they can improve / if they learn
* if the colleagues are nice
* and the product is interesting, aka they have meaning
* management is done reasonably
* there's a future for them
this is why startups are popular (learn lots of things, meaningful, good upside) as well as corporates (carreer path is flexible, good management, etc).
