I interviewed for the Fleet Optimization Specialist role at Johnson Controls. All the individuals I met were nice. However, the final interview was going to be presenting a "take-home" assignment, which clearly was either projects they had already worked on or were going to be working on soon. The assignment they gave me required strategy, analysis, and project management, and was easily going to take me over 10 hours to complete. Also, they decided that they were going to give me a 36-hour turnaround time for all of this unpaid work for them. Also, who’s to say that if I did ALL OF THAT WORK, that I would even get the job? And how is all of my work protected? I wasn’t being paid by this company, nor was I a consultant. I was just a job candidate. If someone from HR is sitting down and reading this, you need to be ashamed of yourselves, and you need to retrain your hiring managers on respecting job candidates' time. At the individual contributor level, if a job candidate is putting anything more than 2 hours' worth of time into take-home assignments, they need to be compensated for their time. Your hiring managers should NOT be giving assignments to job candidates that require the amount of work that needed to be done in the take-home assignment I received.
