It was a well-organized process with a unique spin: a take-home assignment to cover some interesting problems from your past experience. Originally I was hesitant to reply due to significant time investment just to get to the phone screen round. I actually felt that in the end it saved quite a lot of time for the company and for the candidate as I didn't need to cover my story verbally and during the phone screen we just went deeper into some aspects of the past experience. I didn't feel that I need to explain a lot and phone screeners came prepared.
