Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
OA -> pre-recorded VI -> in person interview. The OA was hard, 2 hours for 2 questions only. For each one, I finished the coding, but did not have time for debugging. Thus did not pass all the test cases.
Online Assessment with a random cognitive test. Not too hard but not sure what went wrong, either. There were no feedback although I thought It was simple. Overall not too pleasant experience.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Optiver (Amsterdam) in Nov 2022
Interview
The HR conducted a zoom interview for behavioral questions, including common ones like why us, and teamwork experiences. The interview lasted around 30 minutes. I haven't taken the technical interview yet, and so the "No offer" is just a placeholder, fyi.
