Question 1
Did some standard reasoning tests. Then did an exercise where there were generals in castles who wanted to communicate but couldn't be sure of their messages getting through; I had to suggest ways the generals could be more certain of their messages getting through, as well as talk about the strengths/weaknesses of my suggestions.
Online form and tests followed by an assessment day. First half of the day consisted of an introduction to the company and written aptitude tests. After lunch there were some more involved problem solving exercises to work through, which were then discussed as part of a one to one interview.
