I interviewed at Janney Montgomery Scott (Philadelphia, PA)
Interview
Didn’t hear anything from them for like 2 months when I applied. I got invited to a final round ‘super day’ with about 10 others in one open conference type room. You go over your resume - basically just time to throw in whatever you want them to know about you. There will be some behaviorals and minimal technicals, depending on the group. You will most likely meet with a managing director and then a young analyst.

Question 1
Mostly behavioral questions (e.g. tell me about yourself, walk me through your resume, tell me about xyz prior internship experience, etc). Note that I got a generic market based question during the HR interview as well.
Technical questions weren't very hard, either -- they asked me what I've been following in the markets for the past 6 months, and what the 10-year Treasury yield was for that day (just to test whether you're up to date). Another friend of mine mentioned that they'd asked her accounting-related questions so I'd also prepped on financial statements and how they flow together beforehand.
