Much better than killing communists.
Reminds me of another prior discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15275182

I wonder why software companies these days take it for granted that professional software developers who code for a living would spend half a day from their schedule or work overtime for free.

Now, don't give me the argument that many developers do it anyway by writing open source code. That falls in the category of "volunteering". Working overtime and spending 4 hours on solving a toy problem is not volunteering.

With the kind of poor reviews this company has on Glasdoor ( https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-Sahaj-Software... ), I am surprised that they want me to prove my essay writing skills before even agreeing to meet me.

Can I ask them prove their management skills or ability to compensate me well enough before I jump through their hoops?
