GS BO Interview Help - the Bank

Hi guys, I'm a sophomore at a target and just recently got a first-round interview with Goldman for this internal support role. I'm wondering what I should prep for the interview, behavioral questions obviously but will there also be brainteasers and financial statement questions? Will I get technical questions and have to provide an opinion on the markets?

The posting is below - it seems very different and less intense than other BO positions like operations.

Any advice from previous SAs that interviewed for BO would be appreciated.
