We strive to give all candidates a great experience throughout our recruitment process, but this doesn't seem to be your experience. We're sorry for that. Please know that we value all of your feedback and have already been discussing it with our talent team to see how we can improve our processes and better set expectations for communications from the onset. As for assignments, these are often used for our more technical positions. Our goal is to give our candidates an opportunity to showcase how they approach and solve problems related to their potential role. The time investment for these varies based on the position, but this is often a critical part of our hiring journey. We will continue to evaluate this practice and, again, appreciate your feedback.
