Interview
There was a online coding challenge, then a 1 on 1 interview comprising of mostly basic finance related topics (options theory) and mostly behavioral. Then another round of interview first was very technical in nature (questions included how to find true pricing of an asset given different bids from sell side, since the team was portfolio valuation analytics), third round was MD with very in depth option theory questions
Interview Questions
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

Interview
1-on-1 interview on campus. Mostly fit questions. Then super-day in NY offices. Fit as well, but some technicals tested
Interview Questions
Asked what had been happening in the markets for the past three days - biggest winners and losers. Then asked about interest rate environment particularly for small cap stocks. Otherwise, interview process was mostly fit which was surprising as I was expecting technicals to be tough. Mostly "situational" questions, meaning "tell me about a time when you..." or "imagine you were...". Overall, I found the interview process to be seamless, but I was surprised to have to wait 2-3 weeks to hear back regarding an offer.

Background Check
Interview
Applied initially through school's (non/semi target) job board in one click, a week later got an email from HR for a phone screen. Set me up with an alum and another young guy, very conversational interview. No actual "interview" questions, just a normal conversation about sports, bars, and overview of role. Got an email for a superday a week later where I met the two guys and their boss, same vibe as before.
Interview Questions
No actually difficult questions, made a small hypothetical scenario and asked how I would hypothetically model it, which was no problem at all. Just there to see my thought process. A few unexpected questions like whats my favorite bar on campus and why, what sports teams and why, who's gonna take over the iron throne. Everything was extremely conversational and it barely even seemed like an interview, more like a coffee talk with the team I was interviewing over. Overall, pretty easy process for fit.

A lot of brainteasers (heard on the street stuff)
Questions around the statements (how the three are linked)
Impact of asset acquisition in the three statements
Merger impact - dilution/accretion etc
Motivations (why HF, why L/S Equity, why millennium)
Interview Questions
There was not a difficult question per se, in terms of the technical side of things.
The most difficult part was how aggressive the people taking the interview were. Didnt accept any answer and kept pushing back and digging deeper.
