It's very common, I believe all the Big Tech firms have you write code.
I think the example from my story was the only one I've had where I had to _read_ code. (I have heard of people doing "code review interviews" though).
I've also had a job interviews with no code though. For startups or non-FAANG type companies.
Literally all of them, for at least the past decade, afaik. Obviously it'll vary a lot outside those though, the field employs all kinds in all kinds of ways.
