Based on the most helpful WSO content, the Point72 interview process seems to be a mix of behavioral and technical questions. For instance, one user mentioned that the first question was behavioral: "Why would you succeed?" and the second question was critical thinking: "How to improve a product."
In the Point72 Accelerated Recruiting thread, it was mentioned that undergraduate interns can expect a behavioral interview, a technical interview, and then a super-day. Other threads also mention case study tests and Bloomberg tests.
However, it's important to note that the specifics can vary depending on the role and the individual conducting the interview. So, while it's good to prepare for both behavioral and technical questions, it's also crucial to be ready for any curveballs they might throw your way. Good luck!

'Diversity Accelerator' 😂😂😂
Heard standard behaviourals for HR round (strengths, weaknesses). Know it's twenty min, so not much time for else. Academy coach round is generally more technical questions. You hear anything different?
