Colloquio
The interview process consisted of 4 rounds and I got knocked out at the third round. The first round is an online numerical test with about 1 minute to answer questions based on a few tables or a figure. The second round was a behavioural interview and the third round was half behavioural and half technical.

The first behavioural interview was about my education, running through my CV and my extra-curriculars. The second behavioural interview was about similar things and asking about when I had been most engaged in a project. There was a lot of focus on why I would want to be a trader given my background was more academic. The technical part of the second interview was mostly playing a card game with an existing trader. The game mostly focused on whether or not you should buy or sell three cards for a certain price given by the trader. The value of the card was equal to the number on it and you could say how many times you wanted to either buy or sell the hand before it was revealed. The same game was played when the value of one suit was doubled.

Did the online assement, sequences test, Zap N and lastly beat the odds probability type questions. The Zap N was some working memory, reflexing and planning tests and the beat the odds focused on giving good approximations to probabilities in around 1.5 minute for each question. Then did the technical which focused on market making games. Unfortunately, I was rejected after this round so don't much more than this.

first round: assessment with sequences, a variety of games testing memory, reaction speed, then a behavioral interview and finally a technical interview where we played a market-making game. The market making game included cards, you had to decide to buy/sell, what quantities etc. Assesment and behavioral where passable, technical was really difficult.
it almost took more than 2 hours to finish the online assessment, then a hr interview with typical behaviour questions. online assessment is not easy, including mental mathematics and logical reasoning questions. Hr interview is quite relaxed
