I get a call from a recruiter at a Fortune 500 I've been interviewing with for an ID/training manager position on SUNDAY (holiday weekend) asking if I could come onsite this Thursday (tomorrow) for a facility tour and some short final interviews with senior leaders. I wasn't thrilled due to the short notice, especially seeing as I'd have to take a day of PTO to attend, but I agreed. Mind you I've already had 3 hour-long interviews with the hiring team, including a review of my portfolio. The recruiter tells me he'll send me a full agenda for the day ahead of the interview but to plan to be there at 9am on Thursday. OK, great. So I just got sent the "agenda" (see screenshot)...

They also sent instructions for a design assignment (see second screenshot) they want me to complete by tomorrow to present to a panel of leaders. It's a nightmare of a slide deck with 30 slides - no real speaker notes, no idea who the audience is supposed to be, no content for most of the "key messages" they want "highlighted".

So they want me to review and redesign a deck with 30 slides, completely rebrand the presentation (with no styles embedded in the sample deck, so I get to attempt to glean their colors and branding from their website), adjust layout for each slide and add/sync animations, find my own images to replace what they have and "show evidence I used Adobe products" to edit them, CREATE AN ORIGINAL ANIMATED VIDEO to insert into the deck, etc. THIS IS GOING TO TAKE HOURS to do. THIS IS DUE TOMORROW.

In addition, they are wanting me to complete FOUR additional interviews tomorrow, present my slide deck assignment I will probably have to spend all night working on (forgoing sleep), "present my portfolio" for an hour to a panel (which I've already done in past interviews), and then finish the day up with two formal assessments and one in-house "writing assignment".

And what if candidates don't currently have things like Adobe Creative Suite or a video creation/editing software program on their personal computers? I know I don't, they cost thousands a year to license... I'll have to use the computer issued to me by my current employer and bring it with me to the interview.

Like... am I wrong for thinking this is bananas to ask of people for mayyyybe a shot at working for them? Or is this just par for the course when interviewing for ID roles now? I've been with a large company in a similar role for a decade now and haven't interviewed for external roles much since then, so not sure if this is the new normal and I should just suck it up and do it or if I should tell them "thanks but no thanks" and to essentailly go f**k themselves?

Thoughts?
