I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Optiver (Austin, TX) in Feb 2024
Interview
First it is an online Coding/General test. Coding test involves two not-too-hard design questions, basically given a description, create the corresponding Classes and Methods. General Test is similar to IQ test with memory tests and reaction speed tests. About a week later there is a HR Call with behavioral questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the greatest challenges you faced during your internship or working on projects?
A bit anxiety inducing, there were two developers observing and asking questions. Real-time problem solving required, conducted on Hacker Rank virtually, video and mic enabled - quite nervewracking to say the least
I had one round, which was an online HackerRank test. I wasn’t able to pass all the test cases, and as a result, I did not progress to the next stage of the process.
A lot of interviews. Started off with a call, then some online tests. Then a technical interview. Then a live coding interview along with a architecture interview. Last step would have been final day interview but I did not get that far.

Question 1
How many bits do you need to store a number up to X. And how can you represent that.
