I can echo this and also push back against most of the other anti-test comments in the thread. I agree that an unbounded and abstract take home test is bad, but we use an online test provider (leetcode-esque) with some custom relatively easy questions. We only do it for certain demographics (i.e. interns and fresh grads) while experienced candidates skip it, and it certainly saves a TON of interviewer time. Even for the internship alone we get tens of thousands of applications and it's pretty intractable to review all of their resumes manually in a relatively small window of time, so there needs to be some type of automated system to discard a majority of candidates.
