Citadel Investment and Trading Associate Interview

Hi guys. I have a full time first round on campus interview with Citadel coming up for their Investment and Trading Associate position. The interview is 1 hour long, half technical, half behavioral. I was wondering if anyone can provide some insight as to what to expect and specific questions if possible. Thanks! Also, first post so not sure if this is in the right section.

Would also love to know, for future reference and because it's hard as hell to find info on their ITAP program anywhere apart from the short blurb on their site.
