I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Optiver (Amsterdam) in Feb 2017
Interview
I was contacted by a recuiter and he told me about the oppurtunity at optiver. I sent him my resume and I was selected for an online test but i coudn't make it past that test since the questions were difficult to answer.
A bit anxiety inducing, there were two developers observing and asking questions. Real-time problem solving required, conducted on Hacker Rank virtually, video and mic enabled - quite nervewracking to say the least
I had one round, which was an online HackerRank test. I wasn’t able to pass all the test cases, and as a result, I did not progress to the next stage of the process.
A lot of interviews. Started off with a call, then some online tests. Then a technical interview. Then a live coding interview along with a architecture interview. Last step would have been final day interview but I did not get that far.
