Take-home interviews
From the employees' perspective:<p>Take home tests are the worst. Company says take home test will take 3 hours to complete. They never do. Schedule 2x or 3x the estimate. Especially if you want to impress the reviewer.<p>You send it over, then the company says no or yes, only to move to new stage.<p>In the worst case you ruined your weekend and received a no. But the company just took 10 minutes to arbitrarily reject your application.<p>From the company's perspective:<p>I've seen applicants receive friends'/roommates'/spouse's help on take home tests. Not a good indicator at all even with a glowing submission.
