A recruiter contacted me and called me for an initial phone interview. She just went over my resume with me and said it seemed like I had a good background for the position and that she would send me the standard interview assignment. The assignment was long, but not too difficult and probably took me a total of four to six hours to complete. When I sent it in, I got an e-mail from the recruiter immediately to tell me it was under review and she'd contact me the following week with feedback. After two weeks, I got an e-mail saying the assignment was still under review, but she would tell me whether they wanted to move forward with me soon. When two more weeks went by, I e-mailed her asking for an update and...nothing. I took another job when it became obvious they were never going to respond to me. Apparently, they're fine with wasting your time with a lengthy assignment, but can't even type out a "Thanks, but no thanks" e-mail.
