The company I work at pays a lowish rate for our 10 hour take home project, which is also the last step of the interview process. I think this is a great practice, as this shows that we're taking this seriously and are willing to compensate for your time.

Does your company then issue 1099 forms (assuming US taxation)?

They might not have to if it's a "lowish" (quoting GP) enough rate. I believe the threshold is $500-600 per annum, so if they're paying you $50 per hour for the interview, no 1099 needed.

$600 is the cutoff for requiring a tax form to be issued.

Perhaps be careful - we did this until someone filed for unemployment benefits. They used the fact that we paid them as evidence of employment to the state.
