Yes, it’s common. But it should be something simple - a toy app that you could build in an afternoon and that isn’t useful to the company. If it looks like something they’ll actually use in production or if it would take more than a day to complete, those are big red flags (trying to get free work or just not respectful of your time and work-life balance). The idea is to demonstrate that you’re able to do the type of work the company will want you to do using the technologies you’d be using on the job. It provides a sample of code to discuss in technical interviews to get a sense of our ability to communicate about technical topics. And because everyone gets the same coding project, it allows the hiring team to compare candidates’ skills in an apples to apples manner.
