This kind of process just reinforces why doing paid internships and freelance work during college is so important. I think after you go through that process your tolerance for crappy hiring practices approaches zero. Something you learn quickly in freelancing is no money == no work. It doesn't matter if it is to measure technical ability. Any amount of time you spend not doing something else carries a cost, if companies aren't willing to pay for it early on, why would they respect your time later?
