I haven’t read all the comments, but... My question is, do companies give interviewees the option to work on a problem the company is currently facing? If not

  Too much effort required to maintain, interview would takr too long and good candidates may turn it down because they don't want to work for free.

  I work at Pivotal where we pair program with candidates on work that's usually actually in the backlog. In some cases you might have to replay a story you did already if you don't have a new one that's well suited. One of the biggest benefits is that the candidate also sees what they are getting themselves into. I don't think it would work without pair programming though and might make less sense in am environment where you won't pair either once you got the job.
