Optiver Junior Risk Analyst interview questions

The interview process started with a math fluency test. After the math test there was a phone screening with HR, covering the basics of your resume with some competency based questions. Next interview was with someone on the team where we were dealing with more technical questions. Make sure you are updated with the current news and basics of options.

I applied online and received a request to take a math test. The format was 8 minutes for 80 arithmetic questions. After that I had a phone interview with a rep from HR consisting of behavioral questions: why finance, why risk, etc. I passed onto the next round for a technical phone interview with an Analyst. These questions were more technical regarding economics, some options math, and brainteasers. They didn't expect a lot of options math knowledge, but I had financial mathematics listed on my resume so they asked a few questions. Final round in Chicago consisted of a coding test and then a sequences test. After that was two hour-long interviews with two analysts in each. I felt the second was more of the nitty gritty options theory and a bit more difficult. Overall, everyone in the office was great and I enjoyed the experience.
