Takehome assignment consisting of Playwright tests, non-compensated, that you must do in your own time. Nebulous requirements about what makes it go "above and beyond". You go above and beyond, obviously, teach yourself Playwright, spend hours of your life on their assignment, and receive a vague email message 2 weeks later that you didn't go above and beyond *enough* by some arbitrary standard. Avoid. They didn't even watch my Loom.

Take-home project with baseline expectations to scrape a site for determining the sequential order of posts on a page, but yeah, you guessed it, they are expecting that you spend hours competing against other 'hypothetical candidates who will add advanced features and go beyond basic requirements' without compensation. (email I replied to them with) ------ Lol If you're going to require people to include certain materials in their application, it would be fair to actually review/watch the materials they spent time uploading and working on. 0 views on the Loom you required that I upload, with no way to actually edit clips unless I pay for a Loom account. It was work on a project that I took time out to do for free and your response, instead of at least being appreciative of the fact that I did the work, is to say that I didn't cover extra credit points. You do realize that candidates who have the luxury of time will be able to complete that and that it's not an assessment of core competency, but rather who's willing to sell themselves out the most and spend hours without compensation. I have other duties (that will actually pay me) besides working on pointless assignments you are going to nitpick.

Take home assignment. Wants you to be outside the box. Then there is a work simulated session as well. Which is paid and delivered after the interview. The process is smooth and recommended.
