The interviewer was changed last minute on the day of the interview. The interviewer was also highly unprofessional, conducted the interview on the subway on his way to work.
Didn't bother talking about my background, just went straight for the questions he prepared. It was obvious he wasn't interested in conducting the interview well and just wanted to get it done and over with.
Had a pretty ridiculous and obscure question on Linear Algebra, followed by a dismissive question on my thoughts on the current market. Overall, very unpleasant experience.

The first stage was a take-home technical assessment containing a single programming question. While I was given almost 2 hours to solve the problem, I solved it in slightly under 30 minutes, and spent the rest of the time being paranoid about whether my answer was sensible.
The second stage was a pleasant informal call with HR.
The third stage was a video call with two quant trading analysts, who asked some simple probability and statistics questions. I fumbled and didn't get to proceed any further.
