I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver in Nov 2023
Interview
Initial round phone call w/ recruiter from HR. Had to explain a project I've done, asked about challenges and what I would have done differently. Also asked why Optiver and what you want to get out of an internship.
The interview process began with a rigorous online assessment designed to test technical proficiency. It focused on core engineering principles and problem-solving skills, providing a challenging yet straightforward initial evaluation stage.
Coding + tech knowledge screen + puzzle round.
Behavioral (recruiter round).
Then 4-5 successive coding/system design rounds, followed by a final behavioral interview round with a tech lead + recruiter.
Technical OA mixed with random games and knowledge test about a variety of topics into a behavioural interview where they ask you a few questions about the role, your motivations and interests.
