I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I do think the various homework problems are fair and pretty well designed. If 3 people have reviewed each submission, I would have expected to get some feedback besides you are passing. If it is a rigorous review process then you should be able to easily say what criteria were not met. I think there is also the perception that the roles you can complete homework for, correspond to a current job opening. The applicant has no idea what your hiring timeline is and it may take them a week or two to submit all of the required assignments.
Honestly, feedback is the number one unresolved issue we have internally with the current process. We would love to give more feedback in a constructive manner on either code challenges or position fit. We can't even give our hired employees detailed feedback on their challenges after they've started.
I'm not a lawyer or HR professional so take this as just my personal ramblings not an official legal or company opinion. But, basically, as I understand it, because we're a federal contractor we're subject to some very strict federal regulations around hiring process and record retention. Additionally, as a remote company, we're subject to a hodge-podge of state level laws and regulations. Sadly, the combined impact means the only safe course is to not give any detailed feedback on code challenges to anybody.
That feels deeply unsatisfying on a number of levels, at least to myself personally, but it's the honest reason we can't as best as I understand it.
