Entrevista
On Campus First Round had a strength based interview with two people.
Final round had desk specific Hiring. Mostly Traders, Structurers, and some guys from Funding Desk attended.
Structurers and Funding Desk did pure strength based interviews, Trader's mostly went for brainteasers. Not too many technical questions.
Some of the attendees had up to eight interviews, amount of interviews seemed to highly depend on school's brand name. Also one group trading game with 4-5 people teams.

Entrevista
Interview with the hiring manager and his supervisor in some dingy room that was not suitable for meetings. Neither of the interviewers greeted me when I entered the room. One of them did not even once looked at me during the interview. They came late and clearly had no interest in being there. It was obvious that the role had already been given to an internal candidate but they had to please HR.
