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!

Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”
