A process like this may work for new grads or entry level roles. With the rise of bootcamps and greater popularity for programming, the trend seems to be going towards "Let's put everyone possible into the funnel and see who makes it out."

On the one hand, this opens up opportunities for people with a non-traditional background who might not have made it through a resume screen before. On the other hand, it can be dehumanizing. I also only think this process applies to entry-level. When companies try to use it for people who have experience they run into pushback since the experienced person is not just looking for any job in the same way a new grad would normally be.
