> Therefore, somebody who doesn't agree with this way of working is not "suitable"

Agreeing with how one should work when employed is very different from agreeing with some nonsense during the application process. And in my opinion test assignment which take days to be done is definitely nonsense.

Expecting applicants to follow a process that has been adopted in a company, which took possibly years to get established is very naive. Of course if they get hired they should comply with the company policies and make their best to fit in with the culture, but how can some arbitrary requirement help evaluate their abilities.

People involved in hiring sometimes forget that this process is a two-way street. Applicants can also have expectations, requirements and questions. They are also entitled to disagree. Being themselves in a process of selecting the best company to work for, they can have their own opinion about how this should happen. I'm not sure if is a good policy for a company to hire the most agreeable candidates, willing to follow without objection any rule or order.

Most good engineers I've worked with are not like that at all.
