A few years ago I was almost never coming across this kind of process.
But over the past few weeks, I've had maybe 5 or 6 companies asking me for a technical test before any kind of interview.
I did it twice, the first took 2-3 hours, followed by 3 interviews, and I did not get the job.
The other was like a 15 minutes test, which seems more acceptable, but still annoying.
The last one was asking for a relatively big feature, with no time limit, and vague requirements, it's up to me to decide how far I want to push it, I'm hesitating to write even a single line of code...
A while ago I would have never tolerated this kind of process, but given how the market is at the moment, I wonder if I should just put up with it.
Do you see this as a red flag from companies that won't respect or value you and your time? Or is just the new "normal" and we should adapt?
