Anecdote:

I've been interviewing recently and got through to the last round (of five...) with an interesting company. I knew the interview involved pairing, but I didn't expect: two people sitting behind me while I sat on a wobbly stool at a standing desk, trying to use a sticky wired mouse and a non-UK keyboard, and a very bright monitor (I normally use dark mode). They had a screen recorder running, and a radio was on in the next room.

I totally bombed it. I suspect just the two people behind me would have been enough though.
