Two fairly standard online rounds, quick small talk for the first 3 minutes then into some rather original game/probability questions. Being stuck was expected as the interviewers seemed very prepared to give me guidance at key points. Final round on site was perhaps a bit more "hands on", with longer interviews requiring one to take more initiative. Did 4 of those in total, no offer in the end
Applied online and passed the resume screen, got invited to a first round, didn't pass, was my first time interviewing for quant and nerves made me answer not quite at the best of my ability

Question 1
Mainly I failied since I tried to give them a strict answer to one of the problems(which was impossible to calculate in this time) and the wanted to hear some intuitive approach which leads to approximately correct answer.
they spend a lot of time trying to understand your thought process. the interview question use simple scenarios and build from them to more complex ones to understand how you handle adversity
