# A Take-Home That Promised an Interview — Then the Post Vanished

**[TRUE STORY]** — by Candidate · via r/developersIndia

An internship post that looked like an open door. The head of AI at a Bengaluru software company published a LinkedIn post with a simple offer: complete a take-home assignment, and you would get a direct interview for an AI intern role — no earlier rounds, no gatekeeping.

People did the work. They submitted the assignment.

Then the post was deleted. The assignment documents were taken down. And every applicant who had done the work was left with nothing — no interview, no rejection, no reply.

The candidate who surfaced it said the episode deserved a boycott. A company that uses a public promise to collect free work, then erases the evidence, has told you everything about how it treats the people behind the work.
