While going through a data science internship a bunch of my colleagues applied to this rideshare startup that's (in)famous for having "high standards" and having this comprehensive take home problem that took a week to complete. It was obvious from what others spoke that the type of people they were looking for does not match our profiles, but they gave this challenge to everyone who showed interest and never took anyone after that anyway. To be fair they did interview some before rejecting them. I feel like such large take homes should only be done if you really think the candidate is a good fit after some interviewing.
