Manchester, EnglandPosted May 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My first step was an online assessment focused on logical reasoning and technical problem-solving.

It wasn’t just one type of question: I saw calculation-heavy items, several Python coding exercises, and even some unexpected questions involving YAML. Those YAML bits tested whether I understood configuration and structured data formats rather than pure algorithmic thinking.

The range of topics made it clear they were trying to evaluate both how I coded and how I reasoned through unfamiliar constraints. It took a bit of mental switching between different styles of problems, especially when the assessment moved from classic coding tasks into configuration-style questions.
