Applied online for internships through their portal. Sent in a CV and cover letter, but it seems they only wanted the CV. Got invited to Leeds for an interview. First, a lady sorted out expenses with me. Then, I had to do a maths test that I had to finish in 20 minutes. It was mostly easy with simple stats, algebra, and geometry, but got harder towards the end. After that, I had a 2 on 1 interview where one person asked loads about my CV, programming languages, and what the company does. Definitely know what the company does because it came up. The other person just took notes. Finally, I was asked a logic question to solve.

It was a pretty easy interview process, involving a logic and reasoning test where I was asked about 30 questions. Each question presented a set of images and I had to pick the one option out of five that best fit the pattern of the other images.

So the whole process started with me sending in my cover letter, where I talked about why I wanted to do the job and how I was a good fit, along with my CV. A specific thing they wanted was for applicants to have a full UK driving license and a car that was fully insured. Then there was a phone call where they checked my right to work, followed by a face-to-face interview.
