Interviewed with 5 different people, which included analysts as well as the CCO. Mainly asked about job experience and went through basic interview questions--like what are your strengths, weaknesses, why are you interested in the role, what interested you about Optiver. After that they asked me what questions I had.

Question 1
What are you strengths, weaknesses, what interested you about the role?
Very communicative throughout the interview process. Optiver takes a holistic approach to make sure that you would be a good fit for the team. Interview is more of a dialogue than a one sided interview.

Question 1
Q: Tell me a little bit about yourself as a person?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Optiver (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2020
Interview
Phone interview with HR recruiter after online resume submission. Recruiter is simply an information gatherer, doesn't know too much about the role/team or compensation, which was quite surprising considering simultaneously touting the firm's "flat" culture.
