First, I had an online technical assessment focused on coding and data structures. After waiting a few weeks, I had a final phone call that included some behavioral questions. An offer came a couple of weeks after that.

It was a 10-15 minute interview, the first one for Jefferies Investment Bank (applied through SEO). There were about 7-10 questions in total. There were 2 interviews, both with female interviewers. One interviewer asked most of the questions, while the other asked about 3. I started about 10-15 minutes after the scheduled time.
