Core Applications Developer Interview Experience - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Process
Applied on company website. The progress was quite fast.
- First coding test.
- Then a Skype interview.
- And then a face-to-face interview.
HR seemed very professional at first glance. However, they lost my respect when they declined me by saying that they were looking for software developers who also have networking knowledge/experience. This was not listed on their job advertisement! So, be careful before you put some effort into this process.
By the way, the environment seemed very friendly and comfortable. It seems like a fast-paced company with a stable business.

Optiver Work Experiences
- 1.0Great Pay, Toxic PoliticsApplications Engineer • Former EmployeeAmsterdam, NetherlandsJune 24, 2019Pros: Big bonus and good pay.Cons: The reviews are often a surprise. Team Leads determine the scores together with their peers, top-down. The story leading to the score is compiled after the score is determined. Lots of competition. Your score is relative to the others, so a good score now can be a not-so-good score next year. Because of the relatively high pay, employees will tolerate quite a bit. My Team Lead got a new manager, and within a few months, my core went from above average to below average. Lots of politics. Be sure you are 'friends' with the right people, and you will be fine.
