Has anyone ever been uncomfortable with an assignment during interview process? Based on our convos, it seems like they would benefit greatly and learn a lot that they don’t know yet if I actually completed it. They could definitely use that knowledge and not hire me.

Context: This is for a tech company, in which assignments are normal in the interview process. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Always uncomfortable. I’m pretty sure they do this to get free work.

That said, be sure to add an italicized footnote on EACH page saying that the information/ideas being presented by “Your Name” cannot be used /implemented unless you are employed by “Name of company”

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
