That's BS. That could be anything from a day to a week or more work depending on numerous factors.
Labour laws vary, but in any job around here, when you sign an employment contract there is almost always a 90 day probation period where you can be evaluated. No benefits, can be released without warning etc.They can have you do that 'project' as your first week's work. They see no promise, they can show you the door. Making you do anything that big for free is a con and I would be suspect of any place requiring this is you have a solid portfolio and references.
I've seen interviews where they may take 15 mins of your time to solve a problem, ask you to do something in software or even write some code by hand. Fair enough, but that above is cray, IMO.
