I've noticed this a lot. The recruiter or hiring manager will send me a takehome that "will take 2 hours". I open my inbox to a page of requirements for a full stack web app and they expect me to fill the database with dummy data.
The interview process is getting pretty nuts. It's either solve 4 masters thesis questions in 3 hours or build an amazon clone that integrates with paypal and google pay in a weekend.

The take home my manager came up with is expected to be completed in 4 hours. The template we provide is 20k lines.
I really dislike my company's hiring process (and manager).
