I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver (Ann Arbor, MI) in Oct 2015
Interview
1st round HR interview, usual HR questions, had a nice conversation with the interviewer. Asked about topics on resume, what programming language is your favourite, etc.
2nd round technical interview, was an online "test" like program, hosted on HackerRank. Hard questions, 3 questions total and have 150 minutes to complete all 3.
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.
