Just for some color: The only company that's given me a weekend challenge that ever gave me an offer was 8th Light. I've done live coding and whiteboarding with other companies and received offers, but the take home work has only been productive that one time. I've had code I submitted to these looked over by better programmers than myself and heard very few negative comments, all minor.

After some years of experience, I can't see myself doing one of these again pretty much ever.
