I was rejected by a pretty well-known DB startup over a fizzbuzz-level coding assignment. I didn't blow it off because of its triviality--quite the opposite, I gold-plated it with spec comments, code comments, computational complexity comments, unit tests, type annotations, etc. I showed it to some friends at FAANG companies and they couldn't understand why it was rejected either. It was just really weird and unsettling to be rejected over a trivial test when I know I'm capable of so much more (I've eg implemented major features in a production MPP database engine). It might be partly due to their resume-blind process, which I support in principle, but it seems weird to disregard 20 years of mostly non-trivial software development when evaluating someone on a trivial test.
