>Feels like it's a very high false positive rate and one that pushes all the time costs onto the applicant (multiply ~2hr by say 5 companies that want you to do a coding challenge).
It is, I wouldn't entertain companies that do this unless you really need a position.
This is the trifecta of bad interviewing tests:
- No compensation
- Stupidly restrictive time limit
- High chance of not getting feedback
Personally I would turn them down and then explain these three things. There are plenty of companies with less annoying hoops.
