Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I applied through a referral for an intern software engineering role, and the online assessment arrived at the end of August.

I finished it right on the last day of the deadline, and it was a 60-minute test with two questions.

I struggled a lot with the problems presented, and the format was fairly simple in that there was no mention of having to turn on camera during it. The difficulty level was high for me personally, even if the structure itself was standard.

I didn’t get an offer, and honestly the assessment was the part that determined the pace of everything after.
