There was a online coding challenge, then a 1 on 1 interview comprising of mostly basic finance related topics (options theory) and mostly behavioral.

I was told earlier in the process that I didn't need to know in-depth options theory since I have a non-finance background, it ended up being essentially required to pass the interviews. A few questions on option greek risk measures
