I'm not that desperate for a new job that I'm going to spend more time jumping through hoops for them without even getting to talk to an actual person at the company. I didn't look at the code much beyond doing a simple line count for everything in the zip file (a few thousand, iirc). The next step was to review a zipped directory of code used for managing database clusters, and summarize what everything was doing, which is where I cut off the interview process. My hope was that after finishing the initial project, I would get to speak with someone about the role.

I typically turn down projects that require more than an hour of effort, but I really enjoy using Bandcamp, so I shrugged it off. Their expected time required for this was 2-3 hours, which was accurate since the request was for multiple solutions with a fair amount of in depth comparison against the current system and how it would meet their goals. About a week later, I received a request to write up a proposal for improving a (presumably hypothetical) logging system that had some obvious inefficiencies. Interview After applying online, I received an automated response informing me to expect next steps shortly.
