J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez Optiver (Amsterdam) en juin 2023
Entretien
I only made it to the assessment but after one round my assessment was stopped because I did not meet the expectations. I thought it was a bit weird that I was not able to try all rounds but on the other hand, it is nice that I did not spend more time than necessary on the assessment.

Question 1

Did the online assement, sequences test, Zap N and lastly beat the odds probability type questions. The Zap N was some working memory, reflexing and planning tests and the beat the odds focused on giving good approximations to probabilities in around 1.5 minute for each question. Then did the technical which focused on market making games. Unfortunately, I was rejected after this round so don't much more than this.

first round: assessment with sequences, a variety of games testing memory, reaction speed, then a behavioral interview and finally a technical interview where we played a market-making game. The market making game included cards, you had to decide to buy/sell, what quantities etc. Assesment and behavioral where passable, technical was really difficult.
it almost took more than 2 hours to finish the online assessment, then a hr interview with typical behaviour questions. online assessment is not easy, including mental mathematics and logical reasoning questions. Hr interview is quite relaxed
