Interesting challenges in work, lunches, snacks, good benefits.
Coworkers can be quite cold, arrogant, and distant.

Optiver Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
First stage: Offline coding assessment involving DSA. Screening stage screens for WAM/GPA and resume fitness (e.g., previous experience, extracurriculars, awards). You are more likely to get screened out due to higher WAM cutoffs.

The OA was OOP. It was quite chill; I passed it even though I didn't pass all their test cases. The interviewer was nice and chill during the behavioral portion. They were very helpful and supportive, creating no stress at all.
