I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Optiver (Sydney) in Jan 2019
Interview
I had to solve a Hackerrank problem and then a phone interview proceeded by an on-site interview in Sydney. The interviewers were really nice although kind of intimidating at first. I did enjoy the process but chose Google over Optiver.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why wait and notify is declared in Object class instead of Thread?
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.

Question 1
How many bits do you need to store a number up to X. And how can you represent that.
