*torn apart

I've done one take-home project for a job and it was a terrible experience. They gave me an overnight challenge that in their words was meant to confuse you and was impossible to complete. They informed me I should have realized this and focused on one specific area of the challenge. I spent all night trying to complete it, focusing on a "pace over perfection" approach and then was torn about by their dev team. Of course I explained there would be a difference between a DB, Server, & UI I implemented overnight and what I would do at work. They informed me I was too defensive, attempted more of the challenge than anyone, and that I wouldn't get the job.

tl;dr: I feel you completely and will never waste my time like this again.
