Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Optiver nel mese di apr 2021
Colloquio
I was given a coding assessment, then a phone screen asking basic questions like what I know about Optiver and why I want to work there.
Afterwards I went through their whole interview process with 3 technicals (one coding, one algorithms and one system design+algorithms) and 1 behavioural (not including the phone behavioural).

Domanda 1
Given a sentence `s` and a bunch of pairs of words, each pair containing strings `a` and `b`, representing `a` can be converted to word `b` (`a` but not necessarily the other way around) determine the minimum length sentence you can translate the original sentence to. If there's more than one shortest sentence, pick the lexicographically least.
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.

Colloquio
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.

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