Have read a few descriptions that seem first hand.
Have been greeted enthusiastically 10 years ago by the team I was joining because I was a shining example of the kind of candidate they wanted in a see of wannabees (we spoke briefly about design patterns in the interview and I solved a take home problem that included connecting to a database and querying it using JDBC.)
While not FizzBuzz the whole thing could be solved in less than an hour and I had a couple of days and could use any resource I wanted.
I guess that says something about the problems one can face.
That said: More often I've experienced doing good or even perfect interviews etc only to hear nothing back etc so this definitely goes both ways.
