Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience - India
Process
The process began with a HackerRank coding test, which needed to be completed within 14 days.
The first round consisted of two questions to be answered within two hours. This round simulated a detailed, real-world problem with various edge cases, followed by technical and game-theory type questions.
I received a link for a behavioral interview within two days. The interview was smooth, and the interviewer was friendly, asking general HR questions. However, I was not shortlisted further.

Optiver Work Experiences
- 1.0Good Learning, Grueling ExamSoftware Engineer New Grad • Current EmployeeDecember 18, 2023Pros: Good experiences, and I can know what level of knowledge they are expecting.Cons: The exam is so long, and one needs to be fast to play those games.
- 4.0Great Location, Lots Of WorkSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeAmsterdam, NetherlandsMay 21, 2023Pros: Beautiful location, and the salary varies with time.Cons: Work too much, but it's okay.
- 1.0Toxic culture in once-upon-a-time nice place to workSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeSydney, New South Wales, AustraliaApril 19, 2021Pros: There are some really nice and smart people. Work can be interesting. Having a barista on-site is quite nice.Cons: Shame those nice people are not in a position to make change. Optiver used to be a nice place to work. Then management and HR decided that people could be more productive if they were told that everything they do can be better or done faster. A toxic culture of blame. People become withdrawn due to the excessive load and expectations. Some teams are worse than others. If someone decides a person should go, they will be bullied out of the company using a performance improvement program. If you are going through hiring, make sure to ask for a proper base salary, since your bonus depends on your rating, and that is at the mercy of management.
