Interview
For the interview process they began with a phone interview. They called me at a set time and went over the basic interview questions (position description, personal experiences, examples of times you have overcome difficulty or struggled, etc). The next step was an exam with mathematical questions as well as some definitions and logic questions. Overall if wasn't too difficult but if you get part A of a question wrong then it effects parts B, C, D negatively and all the answers will be wrong.
