Looking for feedback. What are your thoughts on when asked to provide a case study or project plan as a part of the interview process? I know BCD Travel and other start-ups make these kinds of request.

I know this is a little late. I did one for BCD Travel. They gave me two days and I busted my ass on a 5 page case study only to be called a week later to be told, “we are going to move forward with other candidates. From that day, I said NEVER AGAIN. This is a way companies get free consulting. So I have taken my BCD Travel submission and perfected it. And now when the suggestion of case studies come up, I’m straight up, “If your hiring process includes a case study study as submission, I can only comply by providing previous published pieces or a case study of my choice. Case studies require time and research and I’m not in position to give free consultation service, if is contingent on a position where you are interviewing 5 candidates.” I don’t know if that helps. I say, if it’s between you and 1 other candidate maybe, more 4, push back. Until they come up with a way to encrypt a submission so that it cannot be copied or photographed, I’ll never do another case study without pay!

Hello Everyone,
3 Months back I switched to Infosys as a react developer. The project i am tagged to started from scratch and there is a lot to learn.
