Entrevista
After applying, first you are given an online assessment with mental math, probability, and number logic tests. The assessment also has logic based games and a personality test. However, the personality test doesn't count towards the score for the assessment. If the recruiter thinks your scores are good enough, you will get an email asking you to schedule a 45 minute zoom interview.

Everyone was always super nice and helpful during the interview, even if I made some calculation mistake.
First step was a bunch of games and math problems; they test reaction speed, dexterity as well as quant stuff.
Second interview was a game using dice, cards etc. and given a specific outcome, you find arbitrage opportunities to make money.
