That strikes me as absolutely insane, to be frank. I work in a different segment of the industry now (SET) but to my knowledge I've never been at a reputable company that gave a coding assignment that extensive, especially if they haven't talked to you yet. So here's the question: is the code being asked to be production-ready, or otherwise real-world useful? Because one possible thing that's happening is that they're mechanical-turking their codebase by doling out assignments to hopeful applicants.
