Interview
First round was just a general chat with HR. Then Programming + Maths Hackerrank. Then a first round with 2 members of the team, one based on programming and another on mathematics. Final Round with head of the team on mathematics, programming and finance.

I'd argue that the main books, so green book, red book, Heard on the street are more than enough, and for programming do leetcode.
Interview Questions
None of the questions caught me off guard to be honest.

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
