Consider yourself lucky. Do you really want to work with such people who don't value your time and are so nit-picks?
Whenever, an employer asks me to do a challenge, I ask them how long do they think the challenge will take. I double the given estimate and if it is more than an hour or two, I ask to be paid. Most employer decline and I decline to further pursue. Simply, if they don't value my time now, they are not going to value my time after they hire me definitely. I maintain a list of such companies so that I can avoid them in the future. I also don't use or recommend their products and as a place to work to anyone.
- rp1229 12y agoI regularly read about people having complaints about bad experiences at companies. I know there is glassdoor, but I would love a more focused place where we could name these companies so more people don't waste their time with them.
- akg_67 12y agoGlassdoor is as good as it gets. The challenge is that such reviews need to be anonymous. But majority of reviews are going to be from unhappy people. IME, the test requests primarily come from startup tech firms and technical people who think they are better than 'most' even if they are not.
