I applied online. I interviewed at Optiver (Amsterdam) in Sep 2024
Interview
I had one HR interview and one tehnical interview. After that there were another 3 tehnical interview, I did not manage to get there. At the HR interview there were typical behavioral interview, At the tehnical interview there were three parts.
1, Calculate the size of a linked list
2. Compare two programming languages
3. System Design question
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
