Work sample tests have been researched extensively in applied psychology [1]. There is a healthy debate on how effective they are. For me personally, I am not so much for or against 'homework', as would rather see it used correctly. For example, I want to know how it will be evaluated, no tricks. I also think there is a quickly diminishing return on the length of the assignment. Up to ~10 hours may be OK, beyond that seems like a waste. On the other hand, it's also a way to see who's serious. If you are serious about getting a job, it may take some investment. Also, the most glamorous companies can always demand a higher investment from applicants. 1. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=work+sample+test+validity&btnG=&oq=work+sample https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=work...
