The phone screen was hard and I didn't pass. It's not usual tech interviews they hit you with a lot of stats and math GRE style questions. Maybe the prep in finance is different

They don't really hire finance people so I suspect most/all of the interview processes are heavy on the match/stat side.

Quantitative finance interviews are pretty much all probability and stats questions.

Yeah there's a famous but outdated book called A Practical Guide to Quantitative Finance Interviews by Xinfeng Zhou that gives you some idea of what questions they like to ask.
