Entrevista
Had a roughly 20 minute phone call with someone from the company. Passed this and was told to move on to an online test. This test should be passable for anyone with a knowledge who has done A-Level maths and physics, although the range of content might give the impression of it being more difficult than it is. It is important to remember you don't need 100% to pass, so just do what you can.
After this I was invited to an assessment center in Newbury. There were 4 main 'assessment stations'; a pre-prepared presentation, an individual interview and 2 technical 'tests' with an employee, one hardware and one coding. After this we had lunch with employees and had a group task in the afternoon, which basically looked at how we would work in a team planning the build of some Pyramids for a Pharaoh.
None of these were particularly difficult, but I did not get an offer. While I appreciate that they gave feedback their reasoning left a bad taste with me, since it was not something I agreed with. I also wonder whether a different interviewer (there were several different interviewers) might have judged me differently.

Assessment Day includes 4 stages. A Behavioral Interview, a Technical Interview, a Technical/Sales Presentation and a Group Activity.
The Behavioral Interview is your standard scenario interview questions, strengths, weaknesses, that sort of thing.
The Technical Interview is a series of questions where one questions answers is subsequently used in the next question. I was asked about how a computer would recognize a spectrum of shades in an image. This in turn led to some psuedo-coding which led to a contrasted image wherein I had to use or reevaluate my psuedo-code. It is the point of the exercise not necessarily to know the straight answer, rather work your way through the answer by asking questions to the interviewer so that they may help you understand.
The Presentation is a simple sales presentation using technical specs and showcasing your understanding for the product, how and why etc. It's fairly free-form and the other presentations differed vastly.
The Group activity is simply about showcasing organizational skills and quantity/quality of solving something under pressure.
