I was contacted by a recruiting company. I was sent a programming challenge that had to be done in a couple of hours (2.5). It was a big test, many services to be added/fixed. You wouldn't be expected to complete everything, of course. However, the time window you are given is unnecessarily tiny for anyone to show what they can do. Also, it was a fullstack position and the boilerplate mentioned a command to run the frontend part, but there was no frontend structure in the project at all. As if the time frame wasn't small enough... Really don't know what they expected to measure with that test. Also, no one contacted me after that, no feedback, no 'thank you'. For me, it was a waste of time.
