The online assessment is done on the CodeSignal platform. You have 1 week to take it once you receive the invitation. The test duration is 1 hour and 30 minutes (if I remember correctly). It is proctored, so you must have your camera and microphone on during the entire test. There are 4 coding questions. You must solve them one after another — you can't skip questions or go back to previous ones. All the problems are related to building a transactional tracking system and detecting potential fraud. The focus is on logic, data structures, and clean implementation.
