It doesn't need to be proctored. It would be easy to start a remote clock and the solution needs to be in by x minutes after the start. It can even be pretty generous. The idea is presumably not to see how fast they can sprint but just put some time-boxing in place so some people aren't taking days.

People can get help of course but that's going to be the case absent effectively a remote proctored assignment. And now you're back to effectively in-person.

I would vastly prefer an "in-person" interview in which I wasn't expected to speak to the interviewer to the in-person interviews we actually have. There is a world of difference.

You don't want to ask questions?

[thaumasiotes]

Why would I want that?

Because it's an opportunity to learn more about the company beyond what's on their website? Honestly, if I interviewed someone and they had no interest in asking any questions, that's probably an easy reject.
