💯 I have done this before. I let them know my feedback; the homework was more than the 3 hours they suggested. Red flag for that firm in my mind.

This happened to me for Flatiron Health. They wanted a case study even before talking to anyone (before a recruiter screen, etc) I just let them know as other people have mentioned
Same with flatiron, was a pretty open ended case that would have required thought and effort. Didn’t go through with it.
I echo completely what folks above said. Walk away if you know this is not for you, and give them your honest feedback in a professional manner.
HoT has spoken 🤌
I assume you already got back to them but I did this in an interview process. I told them that the project gave me great insight to the work I would be doing in this position and I realized it’s not a fit for me. They really appreciated it and then started talking with me about other positions

Curious to know what you would feel is acceptable assessment time? Under 3 hours? Many firms use case assessments now as part of their screening, and thus curious to hear your dissenting opinions. What would make you take the 2-3 hour case assessment and at what stage in the interview process?

Thankyou - these responses have been very helpful!
Agreed. They need to know it’s a poor way of assessing candidates
Okta is a company that does this too from a technical take home challenge perspective - takes at minimum 3 full days to complete if you have the right knowledge, and likely weeks if you don’t
