I appreciate your honest feedback and for taking the time to share your experience. You aren't wrong, as the take-home exercises that we send out are quite in-depth and require a lot of work on your part to complete. The goal of these exercises is two-fold: 1) We want you to have a better understanding of the scope of work the role requires and 2) We want our team to have the opportunity to assess your skill-set, as it aligns top the job description. I hope that your recruiter was able to provide insight into the interview process and if that process changed, provided context. Our recruiting team will continue to work on this moving forward.
