I used to spend whole interview working on actual problems candidate will face on day-to-day. When hiring for back-end roles I had a few scripts I used to use to see how candidate does code review, or had an EC2 instance with specific problem simulated so candidate could look around and talk about what they see and how would they approach the problem at hand. I only gave algorithm problems to juniors who claimed they can code.
