Interview
Very professional interviewers. Kind and respectful. They were aware of my background and asked questions to probe my qualitative and quantitative skills mostly in mathematical aspects. In addition, I've got interesting questions about my experience with numerical techniques to solve partial differential equations. On top of that, since my background was in theoretical physics I faced questions about the basics of finance and my interest in the subject.
