Takehomes have been ruined as a concept by companies that spam them out before applying a first pass.
I’ve passed interviews at demanding companies like hedge funds, Google, Facebook, Snap. Not once have I “passed” a take home interview even when I know I got the solution correct. Sorry, but I refuse to do them now. Companies need to be able to show a token investment in time with an actual engineer interviewing me for me to be convinced they are actually considering me as a candidate and didn’t just send me a takehome link without any due diligence because it costs them nothing to do so.
