Questions about Equities Junior Analyst @ Millennium Management

Hi, I hope you guys a wonderful day. 


I got my first round interview for the equities junior analyst program at Millennium Management, and I wanted to ask some questions about it.


First of all, I know this sounds like a really stupid question, but what investments and strategies would you be involved as an equities analyst, and what would be your main job? Based on the job description and the firm's homepage, I'd expect working with RV fundamental equity, but I wasn't sure if the position also involves dealing with equity arbitrage strategies like derivatives and structured products. Additionally, I expected conducting fundamental research for choosing investment targets as the main task, but I wanted to know if the job is more focused on the trading aspect of investment (i.e. options volatility trading). 


I also wanted to know what the recruiting process is like. I heard that Millennium has a long recruiting schedule with multiple rounds of interviews, but how many interviews would I have to go through?


Also, if any of you guys previously had interviews for the equities junior analyst position, could you tell me what questions I should expect for the first round interview (+ future interview rounds)? What are some behavioral / technical questions that I should expect? 


Regarding technical questions, are they basically the same as IB technicals (i.e. depreciation +100, walk me through a DCF, etc.) or are they more HF-specific?


I know that I've asked a lot of questions, but any sort of information would really help me. Thank you for reading his long post, and have a great day!
