J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Optiver en oct. 2021
Entretien
I did a phone screen in the first round, presented a deck in the second round and then met with about 8 Optiver employees in the final round via Zoom. The Zoom was 4 hours with one 15 minutes break built in, however, some conversations went over so the break ended up being about 8 minutes. Interviewers left little or no time and some interviewers (more senior folks) felt quite condescending. I did not feel my time was respected and felt it was a one way street. I did not feel that it was a fit after the interview regardless of the outcome.

J'ai postulé via une autre source. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Optiver (Chicago, IL) en janv. 2024
Entretien
The process was drawn out and repetitive - most of the interviewers seemed to have less experience than me, the person interviewing. That doesn't disqualify their expertise but their choice of questions showed it clearly. They will ask you to make a presentation, and if they don't hire you, you can best believe they will take your ideas. I think the best way to describe this place is a facade. I got the sense that the people recruiting didn't enjoy their work but had a classic case of golden handcuffs where they make above industry average and therefore don't care.

Question 1
Q: Pick from university A, B, C and develop a strategy on how to engage that university
Late responses from their side during the application period, unprofessional attitude, interviews were delayed. Too many interviews were scheduled. Unorderly and no regard of the time of applicant. Not recommended.

Question 1
General questions. Often they try to stress or startle you by asking questions they are aware you dont know the answers to, and exploring those areas more where they are aware you are not confident.
