It started with an initial assessment that took about an hour and didn't involve any coding. After that, there were coding and core assessments. The core part was about comparing AI responses to prompts, and the coding part involved comparing two AI-generated codes, as well as showing your own problem-solving skills by writing actual code.

It was an online assessment with a good amount of time. The problems were pretty easy, but you need to detail your thought process for each. For those taking these, make sure to read the instructions carefully to understand each problem, explain your reasoning thoroughly, and don't use AI as it's forbidden. The platform is good and I've been making good money working full-time.
