I applied online. I interviewed at Optiver (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2025
Interview
coding, coding knowledge and little games. Games are testing for flexibility and quick thinking. Overall is not hard, but i did not prepare coding well(like 7 leetcodes done lol) so I guess that's why they fail me.

Question 1
Online assessment for coding, coding knowledge and little games.

Question 1
Implementation based OA question. Good to be strong in OOPS and data structures
Asked a hard question on hackerrank. The process was pretty smooth but I'm a little pissed that I didn't write python. Pleasee don't use Java for their interview because it takes so much time to write and less time to think.
