First off, I hate take home assignments. They give you 48 hours to do something that accurately should take at least 5-6 days. They’re also essentially asking you to do a 12 hour interview. It’s a huge time commitment when you’re trying to get multiple offers and having to juggle 3-4 take home assignments while doing your actual job.
I’ve done the homework assignments for Uber and Lyft. Both of which were fine, I didn’t make it through the Uber one for some reason, probably due to me not putting enough effort into designing something pretty and instead focusing on the analytics work.. shockingly that’s not what they wanted.
Don’t think I wanted to join Uber anyway to be honest, I was hoping to leverage their offer to get a better one from Google/Lyft/Facebook
