It was common during the dot-com days. I interviewed with the "VP" who asked me to draw an architecture diagram of a recent system I worked on. He said that looked pretty cool, asked some basic questions. Next day I had a job offer at a 20% raise. No take home, no additional interviews, no white board coding, no written application. Most interviews were like that actually, up until 2010 or so. I remember being shocked by my first white board coding interview.
