It was a 3 Part Online Assessment

90 minutes Timed Session. I did not have to explain the coding approach for any.

Work Simulation


This is an untimed section, but should typically take 15 minutes. Different Situations were given, and I was asked to answer the effectiveness of each option provided based on my knowledge in System Design. The answers you provide are final, and you cannot go back or forward in questions.

Work Style Survey


This is also an untimed section. There were two parts to it - a software engineering one, and a general one. The Software Engineering Survey was multiple choice based and ask you questions about how you approach Software Engineering Work. The General Survey had a slider and two statements for each question, and you had to move the slider towards the statement you most agree with. This section tests your approach to work in general. Make sure you select answers for multiple choice questions because the test allows you to move on without selecting an answer which deducts points
