      Software Engineer Interview

      10 Oct 2018
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver

      Interview

      Optiver reached out to me after finding my resume online. It was a very quick process. I had a 30 minute behavioral interview, which felt very natural. After that, on the same day I was given a hackerrank which I had a full week to complete. The challenge was very doable and I had 24 hours to solve three problems which did take a few hours (not the usual one hour challenge; it was a "project" which I suggest you use your best coding practice on). After that, I was invited on-site. This consisted of four interviews - a code review of the hackerrank, a design interview, which was basically a technical interview but without coding, a behavioral interview, and an executive talk with the CEO and CTO. Overall, the experience was great. To be honest, I thought the behavioral interview didn't go great because my interviewer was very adamant about "only the best can get a job here" and you have to "be the best not to get cut". The whole process took probably only three weeks so props to Optiver because from my experience some companies take months even if their interested in you.

      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Optiver (Sydney)

      Interview

      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

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Optiver

      Interview

      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.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Optiver (Amsterdam)

      Interview

      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.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How many bits do you need to store a number up to X. And how can you represent that.
