I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver (Sydney)
Interview
Four steps in total: Online challenge, Behavioural, Live Coding Exercise, Final day interview (subsets of which consist of two casual chats, a behavioural interview and system architecture exercise). Relatively fast pace, progressed through each step each week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you communicate with non-technical background co-workers.
The interviews consisted of an OA, then behavioural, then technical and thena final round consisting of another technical, system design and behavioural. These last interviews all an hour each. I only got up to the first technical.
OA; quite long, 3 tests
Behavioral interview: just a short talk with HR, motivation,…
Technical Interview 1: fundamental CS, nothing more
Technical Interview 2: system design, very vague but just go with the flow
Technical Interview 3: live coding, still leetcode but optiver style is a very descriptive problem, but the main thing could be boiled down into only few lines
