Colloquio
Several rounds of probability puzzles, tests of intuition, and betting games. They intentionally create high pressure to see how you think under stress. Generally quite demanding process, and it is quite fun.

I throw two fair 6-sided dice. Which is expected to be larger: the smaller one of the two, or the difference between the two?
OA for Round 1, involves a lot of quick calculations and estimations. Behavioural interview, Technical interviews and final superday. Final superday involves many interviews, but I did not reach that part.

Why trading? Have you applied to any other places?

Colloquio
Multiple Rounds, first was behavioral and second was technical. They first did a pretty lengthy behavioral and seemed pretty good, but then the technical was mainly all Fermi estimations and market making games.
Online assessment followed by multiple steps of technical and behavioral interviews. Pretty standard process in general, positive experience. Seemed to care a lot about cultural fit more than other firms
