From the very beginning, I was told I don't need to be an expert in finance for this internship as I did a CS degree. They just want me to be good in algorithms and coding. But after each interview stage, the amount of coding kept decreasing. And in the final stage they asked me really complicated finance-related questions. I knew my background, still, the way they were interviewing was humiliating. I have attended a lot of interviews in my life, and this is not how they treat a candidate.
