Wow! It's so nice that the company got back to him! /s
But, seriously, I'm not doing take home projects anymore. I recently interviewed at a company that rhymes with Lagi. They asked me to build an app for them for 2 weeks. I did. I sent them the project and then they just fucking ghosted me. I sent them 3 follow up emails and nothing. Not even a rejection.
A formerly famous tech company took me through two technical interviews and a behavioral interview one right after another, the technical interview environment did not work, the facilitators weren't familiar with the technologies I was being quizzed on, they kept interrupting me, and then they of course failed me because I wasn't showing an independent thinking process. Also they had me sign an NDA (which lapsed)
