They spread a stack of A4 sheets with printed pieces of code with a request to immediately look and comment on what is being done here. Moreover, in addition to a technical specialist, there are still people with laptops and notepads. When asked to introduce themselves, they say that they are not on the technical side. "We ourselves are not technical experts, but nevertheless you are here, let's comment to us."
They even gave me 15 minutes to prepare for the state exam.
Are these interviews the norm?

Norm is a relative concept. Depends on the company and the skill level. I immediately get up on these and go out the door with one phrase "success"

It’s not the norm, if people can’t communicate like a human being, you can’t waste time.

What area? Web? Then it's okay.
People like you, they apparently drive dozens. 9 out of 10 will be indignant, and one will quickly grab everything, explain and go waving the keyboard for a penny.
This is how it is done.

Serious companies don't do that. And this looks more like a "new" tactic from "leading HRs". Turn around and leave. You can still send x if you dare.

Haven't seen or heard of this. But I may be irrelevant.
In general, companies can organize interviews as they want, the main thing is that it fulfills its tasks and the format suits you personally.
And here I would pay attention, what is the difference in what part they are, if the question was "who are you?". In a normal team they would say "we are so-and-so, not techies, but we want to hear this from you and that's what we are sitting here for."
This is if your words are close to a quote and not a free presentation.
