I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver in Oct 2015
Interview
Consisted of a phone interview and then a coding challenge through HackerRank. The interview was very simple and the challenge wasn't too terrible. Study up on binary trees and you'll be fine. The next step is an on-site interview, but I wasn't called back for one. Overall though, it was a positive experience.

Other Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Optiver
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.
