Did you complete the take home assignment?

Sounds like you just want them to hire a diverse candidate without making sure they are actually qualified for the job.

The parent post presented an arguable opinion, i.e. the process is unreasonably arduous, which is potentially at odds with their stated values, and, perhaps more importantly, the process was not communicated well. Your reply was to insult them.

Communication is a two way street, I wouldn't immediately blame one party, although you would think they would mention the process from the outset.

'unreasonably arduous'- how would you define that. Really a few phone convos, a take home assignment and showing up for interview is unreasonably arduous for a diverse candidate?

This actually shows to me that the company is not willing to hire someone diverse without properly vetting them. Good for them.

It was an observation. I can't help if they were insulted.

why would they work for free?
