I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver (London, England) in Aug 2025
Interview
HR Interview with a recruiter
Asks about background, motivation and comp expectations for the role
Explaination about the programme, structure and interview process
Expect pushback on comp numbers, they will challenge you.
Started with call with the recruiter, then an online test, then a zoom interview focussing on brain teasers. Finally the assessment day which was a mix of personality interviews, cv interviews, brain teasers and role playing interview
