The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Optiver
Interview
I initiated application via a hackerrank advert. After solving about 90% of it successfully I wss picked up by HR. HR gave me a battery of questions:
Pet peeves in code
What is clear good code
How do I test code
I went into great detail about my motivations and projects, as well as my team dynamics.
Didn't get picked up by the EN side of the house for further screening.
I am at a loss
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How many bits do you need to store a number up to X. And how can you represent that.
