Yes I'm curious how this works. I don't expect a dev to be productive for some time, maybe months. And for isolated, self-contained tasks, like those that make a good intern project, it takes time & effort for the dev team to set those up so someone can be successful at it.

Generally the tryout projects are the projects the company is already working on and make the candidate work parallelly on them. After the try-out period is over they assess their work by comparing it with current team's work (obviously factoring in they were not working full-time)
