It was a phone interview. It lasted for about 30 to 40 minutes. The interviewer asked some competency questions and questioned my interest in the role and company. Overall, the interviewer was rather friendly and clear. He also provided me feedback on my performance, which is good, as I am able to spot my mistakes and improve on my interview and communication skills. A positive experience I would have to say.
2 rounds with cv grilling and related Q/A.
After that if you are selected then an HR round.
Process started with a GD.
It is OK even if you don't know much about finance but should know trading basics.

3 written questions to submit along with basic CV, etc.
2 phone interviews back to back in the line of business people
1 assessment day which is basically just a bunch of interviews
You may or may not need to do an additional interview after that.
I was a bit shocked that they changed the interview to in-person literally last minute (less than 24 hours before the supposed-to-be online assessment day)
