I think it would be great if you did some courses with code challenges for common interview questions and concepts.

There's a mix of behavioral interviews, logic test taking, take-home code assignments, solution design whiteboarding, algorithms, etc. Companies will do a mix and interviews are very different.
If you're in the USA the book Cracking the Coding Interview gets a recommended a lot.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 56,488 PointsHi Paige Jones,
Recently courses on algorithms have been added to the library(Introduction to Algorithms, Introduction to Data Structures and Algorithms: Sorting and Searching). These courses are a good start, as concepts from these courses often come up during interviews.
Cracking the Coding Interview mentioned above by Eric McKibbin is a great book and I would like to recommend it too. I would say that it doesn't matter where you live however, it really is a great read wherever you live! This book is quite heavy on content, and improving on what the book teaches is a great way to make sure you succeed in the interview process.
To directly answer your question: I believe I've read somewhere that they are working on content like interview preparation, and algorithms are a part of that. But a great way to make sure that Treehouse get your feedback, send them an email to help@teamtreehouse.com
I hope that helps,
Jonas

10,419 PointsThis is an excellent question, that had also occurred to me. And thanks for the reading suggestion Mr. Mckibbin. Plus you may have helped more than you know. I wasn't aware that "...a mix of behavioral interviews, logic test taking, take-home code assignments, solution design whiteboarding, algorithms..." was potentially part of the interviewing process. But seriously, this is a matter that needs its own segment of study.
