D.E. Shaw Credit Opportunities Interview

What should I expected for an interview in D.E. Shaw's Credit Opportunities Group for an analyst position? Will I be expected to pitch a credit investment idea? Or will it be more generalized and just be a stock pitch like other interviews? Not sure what to expected as this is my first time interviewing with a value focused group. Also I am a senior in undergrad if that makes any difference for the responses. Any input would be appreciated.
