I've seen work trials promoted as a way for companies to improve their hiring decisions, but as he points out it sucks for a candidate. I think work trials might be a reflection of the current buyers market for software devs.
If it's so good for the hiring company, it should be worth compensating candidates for their effort. Not sure how that works in regulatory / legal terms though.
I think they do compensate candidates. But as the article mentions it sucks a whole week of energy you could be applying for other jobs. It means for that week you're forgoing other opportunities.
