Interview
I initially received a first round interview earlier in the recruiting process as a friend gave me a strong referral to HR. Following the first zoom interview I had another zoom interview shortly after about 1-2 weeks after. I then did not hear back for about a month until I was told that they were just waiting for the rest of the recruiting process to kick off, but that I would be moving forward in the process. My final round, which was also over zoom consisted of two back to back interviews. All interviews were with associate level bankers.
Interview Questions
One interviewer's last question was "what is your favorite album?"
Another more technical one was "Can a publicly traded company have a negative enterprise value? Why or why not?"
"Do you personally invest in any stocks and if so what and why?"

Applied via Handshake resume drop. Got an email from an analyst to set up an intro call. Was a bit concerning that he was sending out emails at 2am. Had intro call the next day. Intro call consisted of common behaviorals and questions regarding resume and background. Was asked about how familiar I am with technical concepts, but not directly asked technical questions. Very informal intro call, got to learn more about the firm as well. Did not make it past this step however.
