Why I wanted to work there.
Case Study: Excel and Python/R coding. A strong understanding of options, bonds, and pricing is necessary. Making the spreadsheet look presentable was also being judged, not just content. Interview: Everyone there was insightful and nice to talk to. They all provided different perspectives about the job and the company as whole. It was great to see that they all had different personalities and that they weren't "the same person" with the same personality. There were basic behavioral questions like "Tell me about yourself", "Tell me about a time you worked in a group", "Tell me about a time where you worked with someone who was hard to deal with", etc. The technical questions were all over the place from probability to statistics to options theory to brainteasers to interest rates. If you have a strong understanding of probability & statistics along with equity, fixed income, and derivatives, these shouldn't pose a problem. As for the brain teasers, explaining your thinking out loud was much better than thinking in silent because they wanted to see how you approach problems and explain yourself than just the solution. The overarching theme was that they wanted to see how you think, not answer basic definitions.
