PEAK6 Trading Assistant Interview

Could anyone shed some light on the nature of the first round interview for Trading Assistant position at PEAK6?

I guess technically it's a 2nd round since I already went through a phone screening with HR, and she told me that the following interview will be "analytical." I am guessing that it will entail a lot of brainteasers, probability, mental math questions?

Any advice/tip would be appreciated!

wanted to leave some feedback after the 2nd round with this firm, for anyone in the future who might be interested.

So I prepared thinking the interview questions will be on par with those of jsc/sig but it turns out for peak6 the questions are way easier. Obviously it will be harder in the final round, but for 2nd round the math was a breeze. total of 10 questions that you have 10 sec each to do, including 3 digit addition, some mental math, very quick market sizing question. Very easy, but one thing that took me off guard was their question regarding my preference towards risks.
