Nobody has time for that sh*t. Your dumb tests always take forever to complete (like 2-4 hours). Just schedule a phone screen and stop trying to offload time onto the applicants. Ridiculous. News flash: the applicant’s time is worth more than company’s in this regard, as we can just go apply to other high paying companies that don’t waste hours of our day, and do real phone screens. You’re culling out the best candidates who have a lot of alternative options. I find it insulting when a recruiter contacts me with one of these damn take home tests. Makes me want to shout f*ck off 🖕 Take the art industry as a great example; they have their sh*t together. Just look at a PORTFOLIO. For christ’s sake, it is not expected an artist to produce a perfect self-portrait for every f*cking application. It’s basically asking for free labor. Very insulting.
Especially if they were just some random startups
Truuuuu
"we do tdd here" *gives you a coding challenge with 1 simple ass caveman test case* lol
I usually say no thank you to such nonsense.
You can just ask for a phone screen. And if they say no you pass
Phone screen is worse IMO, take home is more indicative of real life scenario
Name of company or close this thread.
When comparing phone screen to take home tests, are the weeks or months of preparatory leetcoding for the phone screen invisible?
I have never leetcoded
Without coding how did you get AMZN?
If you have time to leetcode, you have time to do a stupid assignment. They probably should be no more then an hour though.
