I feel this is a generalisation. A lot of coding assignments are unrelated to the actual work and have no value to the potential employer besides assessing skills.
- mesaframe 6y agoThat still doesn't justify wasting someone's time.
- nwsm 6y agoYou think they are intentionally wasting candidates' time in a way that does not benefit them at all?
- mesaframe 6y agoThey are being selfish I'd say. Trying to save their time on the basis of projects in the meantime wasting interviewee's time.
- bri3d 6y agoI strongly doubt the take-home assignment is project code - not only would that be a legal minefield, but they couldn't compare across candidates. It's probably a standardized test. I personally vastly prefer these interviews to in-person whiteboard trivia sessions.
- mesaframe 6y agoBy project I mean any project. Related to work or not.
