D.E Shaw Generalist Internship Interview

Hi,

I am a junior at an HYPSM school studying a quantitative (non-finance/econ) field. I have a phone interview coming up with D.E Shaw for their generalist internship. Has anyone interviewed for or worked in this position before? What was it like? Any other tips? (I've only done a couple of interviews ever!)

Thanks!
