The people are very specific. If you don’t fit the mold then you have zero chances. The questions I got asked were all teasers too. It was awful for me. Like I said you have to fit the mold. Abnormal people swear by Q tho.

Start with a recruiter - you get what you'd expect from that... where do you see yourself in 5 years.... other behaviorals... then phone interview with people on the team
Interview Questions
I suppose questions about Ratios, Sharpe namely

Other than that, you have the assignments but those seemed rather boiler plat. You'd ought to know how to calc bond stuff - duration, yield to maturity.

They focus a lot on automating processes, but its mainly done through Excel, so be really good at that... oddly enough VBA experience is a real plus -- other than that I did not get to the super day which maybe was more technical, but generic behavioral questions. Prepare for that and you will be fine
