No, the premise of my comment is that faceless project-based assignments without applicant-specific feedback are a totally one-sided way of interviewing that completely caters to the company's values (e.g. scalability, leanness) and not the candidate's. Who spends 8h on an assignment, gets a generic "sorry", and does not wonder why? At least in a face-to-face interview I can at least go back in my memory and try to figure out what the cues were. There is none of that in a generic, fully automated screening process
