Still, as a candidate, it sucks that they worked for hours and only got a rejection with a templated message. At least tell me the reason why you don't like my work, so I can learn something from it!

I get it that it's not always realistic to do, especially if the hiring manage reviews hundreds of applications for a hot role. But that's why take home assignment sucks. Some candidates may waste hours of their lives for nothing. Both sides need to be respectful of other people's time.
