Practical Assessments

Some positions include a practical assessment — a hands-on task where you write code, draft a document, or solve problems directly in the browser. This may be the only evaluation, or it may come after a conversational interview.

What to Expect

• You'll see an overview page listing what's coming — how many problems and any time limits
• Each problem shows a title and description explaining what to do
• You work in a browser-based editor — either a code editor (with syntax highlighting and language selection) or a text editor
• Your work auto-saves every 30 seconds, so you won't lose progress
• When you're done, click Submit Assessment

If There's a Time Limit

• A countdown timer appears in the top bar
• At 25% time remaining, you'll see a yellow warning
• At 10% remaining, the warning turns red
• When time runs out, your current work is automatically submitted — you won't lose anything

Tips

• Read each problem description carefully before starting
• If there's starter code or content provided, review it before making changes
• Save manually anytime by clicking the Save button (in addition to auto-save)
• If you have multiple problems, use the sidebar to navigate between them
• Your camera remains active for environmental monitoring (same as the interview) — no video is recorded

Combined Assessments

If your position includes both an interview and a practical assessment:

1. You'll complete the conversational interview first
2. You'll see a transition screen — take a moment to prepare
3. Then you'll begin the practical assessment

The two parts are scored separately, then combined into a single evaluation.
