Years ago, I interviewed at redgate (an interview I actually got via HN!). I will never forget it, I was very junior, but I never felt looked down upon, I had nice conversation with the interviewers, and it always felt natural. The technical part was looking at a small game code and just walking through it what it does, how it could be tested, improved or fixed. It all felt comfortable and not "quizzy". I didn't get the job, but I got back a lot of very specific and encouraging feedback that really inspired me in my career, and I will be forever grateful. My takeaway was, treat candidates as people that deserve respect and time, rather than churning through them.
