The phone interview took 1 hour. They asked several brainteasers/probability questions. Some questions asked you to estimate the answer quickly-which I found a little challenging. Make sure you ate well before the interview!

Interview
I applied through their website and got response in a week for scheduling an interview. I did my phone interview today. I was asked two problems, the first one was easy the second was hard. I still have no idea how to solve it. The interviewer was very patient and helpful. Despite his efforts to guide me through the second problem I was unable to solve it. What I got and he confirmed, is that it is somehow related to the Central Limit theorem.

Interview
First an easy interview on math questions, the interviewer usually guides you through problems. Second -- programming interview, which was pretty easy but I was not ready at all, so they considered me for Trader position. Then another math interview, and then on-site interview with many rounds. The on-site interviews are pretty difficult if you don't expect what's coming
