The technical assessment was well-structured and directly relevant to the role. The questions delved into algorithmic problem-solving and system design, providing a comprehensive view of the team's expectations. It was evident that they value practical problem-solving skills and a solid understanding of software architecture. Throughout the interview, there was a strong emphasis on collaboration and the team's contribution to Aviva's broader goals.
