J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Optiver (Amsterdam) en janv. 2020
Entretien
Na online te hebben gesolliciteerd werd ik uitgenodigd voor een assesment op locatie in Amsterdam. De assesment bestaat uit 3 tests, en als de 1e niet een pass is mag je niet door. De eerste test is 80 vragen in 8 minuten, waarvan je er minimaal een score van +54 moet hebben. Je krijgt aftrek als je een vraag overslaat. Het niveau is vergelijkbaar aan expert op mentalmath (google).
I find it is a structured interview process. The tests consist 4 or 5 parts, such as Math calculation, a couple of games, some number games, probability questions, which require fast and accurate calculation, and some probability knowledge.

First round is mental math test. You need to be able to quickly answer these math questions. Then, there is the HR interview. It's about your motivation. 3rd round is a technical interview. It has several derivatives questions, market-making, and some brain-teasers.
Final round consists of 3-4 parts. A market making game with other applicants. HR and technical interviews (again).

Question 1
The best advice I can give is this: Be decisive. They will keep questioning the answers you
give. It doesn't mean your answers are wrong. Don't change your mind frequently. Only change your answer if you become sure that it's wrong.

After the quantitative challenge, I got the HR Phone Interview, about 15-20 min. Almost simple behavior questions or normal questions. During the whole English communication, HR will guide the unsatisfied answers.
