Colloquio
I applied for a position in Singapore. First I did an online video interview which are all behavioral questions. After that I had two video interviews at the New York office with several representatives from Singapore team. The first one was a technical one and lasted about two hours. I got five math problems and five brain teasers. Some of them are quite difficult but the interviewers are really nice and kept giving me clues. About a week later, I got a second video interview which was basically background check and some finance questions.

I interviewed with global head of rates strat. The interview went on-site.
The hiring manager was nice but apparently he did not have a clear idea on what candidate/profiles he was after.
The interview contained multiple questions about my resume but nothing in depth
