PIMCO 2019 Career Exploration Program

I applied to this position recently and was wondering if anyone has applied to this program or done it before. What were the interview questions about? Do I need any bond-specific knowledge for this or is mostly fit? Any information about preparing for interviews or the quality of the program would be greatly appreciated. I can't find much besides the job description. Thank you!
