Portfolio Construction Analyst Interview Help!!

I have an interview for a BB in their PWM business for a portfolio construction analyst role. It's entry level for a team within the division. Won't be part of an advising team, but an internal team that helps advisers with asset allocation, quant analyses, manager selection, creating reports, etc. Apparently also very client facing.

Anyone have any experience to the kind of questions I should expect??
