I don't mind "homework" interviews, they let me collect my thoughts and put together something representative of my work. It's easy to ship a complete (toy) product for a trivial problem, show unit tests, documentation, written communication skills, etc.

Much better than a timed coding challenge in my book. It's only bad when the problem isn't you know, a toy. Sometimes you have to reply with your consulting rate.

I wouldn't mind the homework interviews if they paid me to take them. In fact, on-sites should be paid also.
