I would pass on these folks. They will waste your time.

Skill level they need: a chimpanzee who can print "hello world"

Skill level they think they need: a PhD nuclear physicist

I second this. Similar experience with their interview process. Also, if you ask for feedback, they stop answering.

Did not get feedback on my application after doing the multi-hour take-home

That was on me a bit because I left the email thread hanging for a long time but when I did finish it (and they were still hiring), it would have been nice to hear a yes or no

Given the concerns voiced by others, I'd like to share my experience as well, which might be relevant information for those considering applying.

After a short interview I was given a take-home assignment, which I completed few days later. Completing the assignment required some hours. After several days without receiving feedback, I sent an email asking for information and received no answer.
