Interview
I had a few phone conversations and a first round with the Boston office. It was very casual and relatively light on technicals considering I already had IB experience as an SA last year. I talked to the analyst a few times over the phone and then I was invited to the office.
Interview Questions
It was your standard IB interview, why IB, tell me about your previous internship/deals, some simple technicals. There was nothing outrageously difficult and assuming you've read any IB interview guide you should be set. Know what they do, they have a niche so know what it is.
