Nay. We have a round of interviews and then send the candidate home with a choice of 5 coding tasks. Intention is to spend no more than 2 hours. Then they return and hold a code review in front of the team and explain what they've written. That way, they code at their own pace and in a comfortable space where they can focus, much like the way they would actually work. Then they've got it all right in front of them for discussion. The review then weeds out people who don't really understand what they've written, possibly because they borrowed it from somewhere or asked a shill to write it for them. We've had a range of submissions, from the casual-careless-broken code to extremely complete to elegance like we've never seen before. It works well.
