I find some take-home assignments to be completely reasonable and preferable to whiteboard interviews.

For example, Klaviyo in Boston (no relation, I just interviewed with them at one point) has a take-home assignment listed here [0]. It is simple enough that I can finish it in the same time as phone technical interviews and applies to the company's product and job requirements.

Though I am certain there are companies that have unreasonable take-home assignments.
