I spoke to a head of engineering yesterday who asked candidates pick from 3 options:

1. Bring some work that you did previously (>4 hrs) and we'll discuss it.

2. Complete a 1-hour take-home.

3. Complete the 1-hour take-home live with one of our engineers.

He said that 98% of candidates chose option #2. I was surprised at how high it was!
