I applied with CV/cover letter online.
Not long after I took a mental maths test online, it was similar to described by other people - lots of questions, not much time. The trick is to practice and keep your cool.
I passed the maths test and took an IQ test, it was a challenge but they give a good example to practice (I think?) and you can practice similar tests online.
They booked me a flight to come for interview (flight and hotel were covered, I was collected from the airport). I went to an in-house day in the morning and then had an interview. It was "fit" interview rather than competency - why I wanted this job etc.
The whole process took 4-6 weeks, they were very friendly and helpful. Everything was well organised.

Why do you want this job? Something along the lines of "how do you react to people telling you a wrong/people challenging you?"

First was a mental maths test of roughly same level as Optiver 80 in 8. Then had a 1-1 interview with HR, did not pass as had not researched company well enough.

I passed the online mental math test, then got eliminated in the second round which was an online interview with HR, where I was asked to play a market-making game in which I had no previous experience. Although it is a junior position, you are still expected to have plenty of technical knowledge.

Do you know any ETFs? How are they priced? Do you know the current market price of the ETF you mentioned? Let's play a market-making game with that ETF

First round - math test, second round with HR on behavior questions, then with trader and HOT on more technical questions, do not expect deep knowledge on ETF. In general, it was not in a very harsh environment
