What you described is most of my interview experiences and what I would actually call a modern interview.
That is, no: grilling, brain-teasers, "culture fit" tests; no pre-loaded, condescending "lemme see how dumb/smart this guy is -- because I can tell" vibe -- or other head games of any sort. And for that matter, no "script".
But rather, simply: "Let's look at / talk about your work. How can you help us with our work? BTW, I'm liking the way this conversation is going -- when might you be available?"
To keep things simple: roles/projects opening with discussions following the above model are pretty much the only ones I am interested in pursuing, these days.
