Hey there! We apologize that you didn't receive a response from our recruiting team and had a negative interview experience. I can assure you that we have not used any take-home exercises for client-facing work, nor will we ever. We take great pride in the work we produce (which you can view at any time on our website) and will always maintain the integrity of fellow designers in the industry. We previously used the exercise as a means of evaluating technical ability and fit within our workstream. We now no longer use case studies in our interview process but appreciate the feedback you had. Feel free to reach out if you have any other comments - we'd be happy to discuss them with you.
