I got the interview through the referral of a recruiter for another program. It was a simple phone interview, it was scheduled to take 30 minutes but we ended up going for 45. The interviewer first introduced the program in the start of the call, then proceeded to ask me 3 fairly simple probability questions to gauge my quantitative skills. After that, there was an opportunity to have some open dialogue and ask the recruiter any questions I had.

Question 1
What is the number of coins you need to flip simultaneously to have at least a 90% chance of getting at least one head?
Person A flips a coin. If he lands heads, he wins. If he lands tails, player B flips the coin. If player B lands heads, he wins. If he lands tails, player A goes again, until somebody lands heads. What is the probability that player A will win this game?
There is a game where you roll a die. You win money for whatever you roll ($1 if you roll a 1, $2 if you roll a 2, etc). If you are unhappy with your first roll, you are able to roll the die a second time. If you roll the die a second time, only your second roll determines the payout. What is a fair price to charge to play this game?

It was a first round with the hiring manager who mostly asked behavioral questions. He described the role and what they do. Overall the questions he asked were trivial like bond market trading hours. I didn’t know about the sessions after the regular trading session.

One phone call with HR covering background. I was then invited for a technical interview online. I didn't pass the second stage so I don't know the next steps. For the technical interview I was talking with two quants.

Good overall experience. HR got in touch a few months after application. Interview was basic quant maths including probabilities, linear algebra and calculus. Interviewer was helpful when stuck with hints.
