What makes it even more insulting is that, I do the assignment, and still no interview. If you give a programming assignment, then you should at least have the decency to give an on-site interview to everyone who gives a solution that compiles and runs and gives the correct answer. That's why I usually refuse to do them now. Not only am I spending a couple hours on someone I never met, the conversion rate is so low that I'm convinced it's a waste of time. Also it's insulting. You're asking me to waste a couple hours of time for the privilege of maybe getting a chance to talk to you? When "maybe" turns out to be "almost never", I've really soured on the pre-interview programming test.
