Venture Capital Interview - What to expect?

I have an interview coming up for an associate position at an investment firm that focuses on venture but also does some growth equity. The firm is small (10 people) and doesn't entirely have a structured process. I'm trying to figure out what to expect in the interview and what to brush up on. I try to stay up to date on VC topics through newsletters and forums (Pro Rate, Fred Wilson, LAUNCH, etc.) and am trying to look for more resources to review to prep for it. Just wondering if anyone's gone through the process and has any insight into what they looked into/general tips. Thanks!
