Interview
The interview was smooth with coding of basic SQL and AWS, and critical skills like experiences about deployment, issues faced, and more. Be confident and wait a second to think and analyze, then execute.
Maths Test (Non-Verbal Reasoning). 'Best' and 'Most' descriptive details about yourself, quite simple and the maths was reasonably easy. The initial application was a bit long but quite normal- sending CV and cover letter included.
