One of the better laid out interviews I had consisted of them pitching a problem prompt via email, followed by an hour and a half to complete the problem, followed by a ~30 minute code review. Realistically, the task was like a 20 minute job, so plenty of margin for stress-related slowdown. I think that's a happy medium between unbounded take home exams that monopolize your time, versus in-call leetcode whiteboard sessions.
