      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Optiver

      Interview

      Apply online, got sent a link to an online assessment with four parts. First part was a coding interview with two questions. Honestly I had no idea how to answer them, but I posted them below. Hour and a half to complete the coding questions. Three other parts to the assessment, I bombed the coding questions

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. Random Walk Card Game: consider the following game. Beginning with a deck of even size = N cards that are half red and half green (N/2 each), you begin drawing cards. For each red card, you win $1 and for each green card you lose $1. You may stop at any time. What is the value of this game to you assuming you play optimally? Write a program that computes this value. Hints: consider recursion 2. Worst Trade Reporter You are tasked with building a tool to analyze trades. For the purpose of this problem, every trade - id, company, buy/sell, price, and volume. You receive a stream of N instructions. Each instruction can be an update or a query. Updates are: trades - indicates that a trade has happened price - indicates that the true value of an instrument has been updated query: output the tradeID of the worst trade for an instrument.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver in Dec 2022

      Interview

      Submit application online. Online Assessment (classic logical, maths, etc.) Behavioral Interview with HR (got rejected after the behavioral interview) I think afterwards it’s à technical interview on statistics and mental maths then the final assessment day.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about a project you worked on recently? Tell me about yourself? The classic hr chitchat. Just don’t know why I was rejected specifically. Probably because of my experience or visa status I don’t know.
