I was discussing this with a friend just last week. He too believes it is wrong to ask for a home assignment. But I have serious anxiety problems so I find whiteboard coding tests terribly difficult. Same thing with pair programming -- it's fine when you know the other person as colleague, but impossible for me in a "judgy" interview situation.
I'd rather do it at home.
- jaggederest 8y agoSure, that makes sense. It's also probably accommodating to people with disabilities as well. The part I have the major problem with is the average length. Peak was 8 hours, I just chuckled and said thanks but no thanks. 2 hours? Sure. No problem. Even 3 hours is fine.
- robteix 8y agoAgree. The discussion with my friend was actually sparked by the home assignment someone asked him to do. That was easily a 10-hour job. That's way too much. He correctly declined.
