First I got an email from Recruiter asking for a call. During the call I answer default interview questions and was moved to an Online Assessment to be done in 7 days through HackerHank.
The online assessment was 2 questions, one medium and another hard. In the medium question, I had 8/14 tests passed, and 4/14 tests passed in the hard one. Then I didn't move forward.
