I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2023
Interview
Screening interview with HR and then a multi-hour cognitive test with equities, statistics, and problem solving questions. Then several rounds of interviews with traders and HR. Very difficult and tumultuous
I got an off vibe from this place. They were extremely pushy and aggressive with multiple people reaching out about the role. Looks like they have been trying to fill the seat for some time now.
You also have to complete 7 hours worth of assessments and case studies before you even met anyone in person
