Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 6 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Optiver (Sídney) en sep 2015
Entrevista
I went through the following process.
1. Submitted an online application.
2. HR Interview over the phone (essentially a phone-screen).
3. Took the on-site barrier test. This comprised of two mathematics tests.
4. On-site technical and HR interview.
5. All-day final round interview followed by an excellent dinner.
Sure, it's long, but this is so it can be thorough.
Preguntas de entrevista [1]
Pregunta 1
The most important question is: Why do you want to work at Optiver? Indeed, you should ask yourself this beforehand too.
There are plenty of preparation questions online for the process, but I think that Optiver know what they want and will see straight through somebody who doesn't walk the walk.

Did the online assement, sequences test, Zap N and lastly beat the odds probability type questions. The Zap N was some working memory, reflexing and planning tests and the beat the odds focused on giving good approximations to probabilities in around 1.5 minute for each question. Then did the technical which focused on market making games. Unfortunately, I was rejected after this round so don't much more than this.

first round: assessment with sequences, a variety of games testing memory, reaction speed, then a behavioral interview and finally a technical interview where we played a market-making game. The market making game included cards, you had to decide to buy/sell, what quantities etc. Assesment and behavioral where passable, technical was really difficult.
it almost took more than 2 hours to finish the online assessment, then a hr interview with typical behaviour questions. online assessment is not easy, including mental mathematics and logical reasoning questions. Hr interview is quite relaxed
