Optiver Data Scientist interview questions

After I passed the SHL test, there is a HR interview, and I was rejected after the interview with HR, which is something I never had in my past experience. HR has tremendous power in optiver, which is very rare in a prestigious company. And during the process I don’t feel that I am respected, it’s not like a conversation, with some pre-prepared questions, and you need to answer in the way they like. Seems that motivation is the main focus of the interview, but I would say, it’s quite random. Because the reason is quite generic, saying my motivation, experience do not match the role. HR told me that she would get back to me after one hour, but in fact I received the rejection 2 days later.
