That depends entirely on the company.

Personally I have applicants do a quick script before they're even called in for an interview. I then look at the code itself and balance that with how long it took them to write (you'd be surprised how many people submit code that doesn't even do what I asked).

During the interview we usually talk about past work they've done and what type of work they're looking to do.

I agree that it vastly varies. It depends who's interviewing too. We generally speak to our candidates about past work experiences and have a "technical chat" in a fairly informal manner. You can tell a lot about a person's experience based purely on how they talk about code.

Your question is far too vague to be more specific. What are the skill requirements?

I've been to interviews for quite a few jobs but I was specifically looking for companies promoting agile development. As such I was asked a lot of questions about unit testing and design patterns. Many small companies won't even know what those terms refer to though :P
