It's kind of a two-way thing. If they're investing enough time into telling me about them, what projects they have and what's exciting about them, what the environment is like, what hardware they use, what they do after work, whether they have any employees using Dvorak †, then sure, if what I'm hearing sounds good, I can devote half a day to them. But on the other hand, I've had a company administer a test and then a coding exercise with contact via email from their secretary, and maybe I'm spoiled but I'm not doing a multi-hour task for you to earn the privilege of talking to a person involved in development.
† List exaggerated

It was also a burden on our team to spend all this time with a candidate, so this would often be our last step. We would next expect someone to invest in us if we did not also invest time on our end.
