Interview Advice for a Quantitative Role

HI all, not sure if this is the right place for this as its my first post in WSO.
Anyway, I have an interview on Wednesday with a large NYC firm that is focused in the life and retirement markets. The reason I am posting here however, is that I have an interview Wednesday with their Investment group. The interview is for their Quantitative Finance Analyst internship, and it is with 4 different higher-ups on four of their numerous trading desks.
What kind of stuff should I be expecting with this one? It says they are looking for someone with a technical background, so I don't think I should be expecting any hard financial techincals, correct? PLease hook me up with any advice you guys got, thnks!
