If something is too easy to be interesting, find ways to make it more interesting.
Like, after the naive solution try without if statement, then without switch statement, and so on, until you are eventually left with just a print statement (+ given for loop) :)
I don't really know what direction the site will take, but I think you are missing the point there.
The FizzBuzz test might be very easy, but you are assuming that these challenges will be for people of your own skill level. Probably the site will want to cater for a wider audience, from beginner to advanced, and FizzBuzz provides a good starting point for both.
And anyway, we have all read enough about FizzBuzz to know that even "experienced" "professionals" can fail spectacularly at it.
Is meant as a hook. And the most important part is that you complete it, that's the kind of validation they are after. But all feedback is good, so I am sure they'll have harder challenges soon.

First challenge is too easy.

Depends on what you want it to achieve. If you want to reach out to people with a minimum experience in coding I think it does a great job.
I was expecting some kind of code-golf mark for that challenge though. There are many ways to solve it.

Depends. Apparently, 80%* of applicants can't do fizzbuzz right.
*: random figure
Try it in all the languages.
Good idea, that's probably the best way to make the most out of this simple challenge.
