United StatesPosted May 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After my resume got screened, I was sent a CodeSignal OA that was structured in four levels.

The question required writing code in Python using an OOP style approach, and the task came with given test cases that I needed to pass. I had about 90 minutes to complete it.

The test felt like it was designed to measure more than just whether I could get something working quickly—it required staying consistent enough to satisfy the grading across multiple levels. I didn’t end up getting an offer, and the main feeling afterward was that the evaluation was strict and time-bound, with little room to recover if the early sections didn’t click.
