I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver (Sydney) in Jan 2022
Interview
Extremely rigid interview process. High bar to pass assessment centres. 80/20 split of technical questions to non-technical questions. All they want to hear is your overly-competitive nature in every aspect of life, regardless of if this is true.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What drives you towards this role and success in this role ?
Ask questions not so hard but unprepared. The interview is not so hard but need to prepare very well for leet code data structure questions. I think the experience is below average compared to other companies.
Hr asking some generally questions about my background, my past experience and my current job and my motivation, taking around 20 minutes, then replying to me after about one week later
OA with quick probability questions requiring estimation and cognitive ability games that test memory and reaction speed. First round was betting game with dice and cards. Be ready to build a confidence interval anytime you answer a question.
