It's certainly true that larger tech companies will not allow much of the 'workflow' into the interview, but this is usually down to the interviewers not being technically sound on the project(s) and most of the time just given a script with certain criterea, who are usually contracted to do so.

This is no fault of those recruiters, just that sometimes they are given very strict guidelines which can hamper creativity within an interview.
