Lost my job as lead developer of a large studio and was stuck in NL due to COVID. Found and applied on this website (glassdoor) for a job as a medior developer which I can do easily. Was asked to send a folio, then given a task to complete.
They asked when I could find time to do a task, I asked that they send it on Friday so I could do it over the weekend and get some planning time. They were very happy with this. On receiving the task and seeing it was very simple, I sent an email explaining that it's a very common thing and would they mind if I played a bit. They replied with 'Fantastic, go ahead!'
The task was requested to be completed in 4-6 hours. It was to implement Boids which every game developer knows and can do blindfolded in 20 mins... in 3 different languages.
I spent 2-3 hours on the saturday making an extendable version from memory (I had done this before, many times). On the sunday I did a quick review, uploaded to github and shared it.
On THURSDAY I got a rely saying I took too long 'extensively'.
These people are idiots.
