Which bank asks the hardest technical questions?
I am practicing brainteasers for my upcoming superdays, and I was wondering which firms are notorious for asking difficult, tricky questions.

Centerview has a lot of brain teaser/tricky questions
I assume you mean for trading as I found this in the trading forum--most banks' technical questions are jokes compared to prop firms, OMM firms and quantitative hedge funds.
In my experiences, Citi asked the most technical questions (e.g. probability/expected value & brainteasers). In addition, I have interviewed with DB, JPM, Macquarie, and BAML as well. Please note that I am located in NYC and would assume that other locations and groups would have their own respective interview questions for candidates. Always over-prepare and anticipate "difficult and tricky" questions.
Also, I definitely agree with @Tryna Trade. Having interviewed with some prop shops (Akuna Cap & Optiver), the process is much more intense (mental math, programming test, number sequence, and etc).
I hate to even call those guys traders. Optiver/Akuna is nothing more than running super fast computers to make markets and scalp for smallest possible price change.
