Very simple interviews; questions including probability theory/ stochastic calculus (math), financial knowledge (covered by CFA level 1), and behavior questions. People were very nice and relaxing. Received an offer, but did not go.

It was off campus interview with QPS team. The interview was a mixed experience with too much emphasis on definition/formulas compared to intuition.
