I prepared the basic verion of the solution, without the bonus subtasks as I currently have a job and didn't have enough free time. I also didn't want to spend a week on writing code that would then get deleted after the recruitment so I asked the recruiter for a more ambitious task which would solve a current problem the company was facing, hoping for them to also use the solution. I continued working on the given task though and sent it back after a week but got a rude response from the recruiter that due to my "lack of enthusiasm" they will no longer be interested in hiring me. So basically they made me waste a week of my life and then threw a hissy fit, showing absolutely no respect for candidate's time, efforts and ambitions.

Dear candidate, Thank you for your review. We are sorry the test did not correspond to your expectations. It is fair to say you had been informed by the hiring agency that a test task would be required during the recruitment process. It is an important step and it cannot be skipped or submitted incomplete, because it allows us to assess the candidate’s seniority, especially if his or her profile appears junior. We understand your motivation to work on a piece of code that would be actually put into use, however, the design of the task is intentionally standardized, so that we can weigh the candidate’s approach against the solutions of other seniors. That being said, motivation to work for the company you have selected to apply for should also be apparent from the approach towards the task and the hiring proces in general. Of course, you will understand that we reserve the right to choose the best candidate, taking into account their work ethic. We wish you all the best for your future endeavours!
