Out of curiosity, how long do these homework assignments usually take? A friend has send me his (applied for a remote position) for review and it looked like 4 hours best case. That was even before the phone interview. Doing 5 or 10 of those really adds up.

The most recent one was capped at two hours, but some can definitely grow to the 6-8 hour range. The worst part is, the submissions are rarely discussed. They're just a step to get to the next interview.
