Our test is actually quite simple and everyone that did any kind of development should have done these basic things.
But it tells me a log of the current state of the candidate. Most code samples on internet are not production ready code. Security and error handling are mostly not included. So this is where a candidate can shine... but I'm happy if you can string it together working even if it is by googling.
- leonidasv 6y ago> they shouldn't work more then 4 hours on it So you're saying spending 3 and a half hours on the assignment is fine. It's not. Take-home assignments have little to no value for the candidate, they're only feasible if you are jobless or in college. The last thing I want to do in my spare time is to stay focusing on a bogus problem that may end up discarded.
