I did one where I went through a few rounds of interviews, technical and otherwise. In talking with the developers, they mentioned that they were trying to integrate a certain client side framework into their backend frameworks build process, without success. Get to the final stages, and the director of engineering asks me to work on this take home project to, you guessed in, integrate the js framework into the build process of the backend framework.
I sent them a strongly worded rejection email. It was a realreal eye opening experience.
If it's not a hassle, could you explain the implications of this request to someone who only understands basic coding?
Imagine you're interviewing for an Architect position at a company that's designing a hotel, and your take home assignment is to design a hotel.
Gotcha. Thank you v much!
They were trying to get them to solve a real world problem for free under the guise of an interview (made up) problem.
Hahaha. Oh, small business owners... smh Thank you!
