CS Phd student here: took an online assesment recently (for internship role). 3 questions in total. None of them were puzzle-type question, or required advanced data structure or algorithm knowledge, but they were more of implementation focused. One of the questions took me about 80 lines, in Python, which is quite a lot for these sort of tests.

I think they were the kind of problems where if you didn't break them down into smaller chunks, individually test each of them- it'd be quite hard to get them working in such a short time.
