Will you complete take home assignments if feedback wont be provided?


As a candidate, will you complete a take home assignment if the employer was known not to provide feedback as a policy?

If the employer had a policy that they would not provide feedback for their take home assignments, would you still complete the take home assignment?

Also, I'm wondering whether we could create a separate post or a subreddit where we can do reviews of take home assignment if the employer refused to do so? Would that be useful to any of you?

Lol take home assignments? What are you trying to get into a high school class?

I'd go find a different employer. Unless they are gonna pay for the time to do said take home assignment? Double time min for out-of hours work. Are they going to provide a RDO to makeup for the outside of hours work/shift going overtime? It's unsafe to operate without enough sleep and if ive banged out 8 hours on some assignment after a 8 hour day you better believe im not turning up tomorrow. I'm not making myself liable for unsafe operations just for your incapacity to hire enough people to get a job done in allocated working hours.

Note. I doubt I would complete a take home assignment that is not clearly generic and given to every candidate.

I would likely refuse to complete one that was extensive or complex enough that feedback was expected or required.

I would certainly never complete one I thought was directly related to the business and what they were looking for was free consulting.
