Got Invited for second round for RA at DE Shaw. Anyone been through this?

Went through first round. The interviewer was very nice and we had a case study. Answered the questions and was able to pass on to the next round, which is 1.5 hours over zoom. Anyone been through the second round? Any advice? thanks
