I interviewed with a company recently where, after sending links to extensive amounts of open-source code, was asked to three different take-home-style tests of things like calculate the fewest number of steps to sort these things but you have to follow these arbitrary rules, then during the interview they also wanted to do some tests about implementing low level lanugauge/library type features while they're on the other end of a hangout going "ahh", "ooop", "ehhhh", "sssssshhh" every time you make a typo.
