J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Optiver (Chicago, IL) en oct. 2014
Entretien
I met them through campus career fair. I took the famous 8 minute test and they e-mailed me in two weeks. I had a behavioral phone interview with HR and two weeks later I had a technical interview. It didn't have anything finance related, only some brainteasers. Then I was invited for Super Day in Chicago. It is very tough, first, they ask you to complete two written tests with basic math. First test only measures how fast and accurate you are. Second test has two parts which have to be completed simultaneously. There is a written part and an audio part. You have to solve the written problems while an audio recording plays in the background. In the recording, someone asks you to compute simple operations and you do that as you do the written part. Pretty intense. Then there are market making simulations, job shadowing and Q&A with the CEO. Those are followed by two behavioral interviews, one executive talk and two technical interviews. At night, there was a company dinner.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Most of the questions are already here, so I am posting the unexpected ones.
What are the qualities of a good trader?
What would you do if your supervisor told you about your poor performance in front of your colleagues?
What do you look for in a job?
Those are the questions you should think about before taking the interview.

Walk in and immediately take three tests: one mental math, one sequences, one multi-tasking. After you eat lunch with some traders and they ask you questions in a very conversational manner, checking to make sure your a good fit. Next you shadow a trader while he works. I recommend asking a lot of questions during this stage. Finally, you play a market making game and a betting game.

There were four stages: the 80 question quiz, the initial phone screen, a more involved quiz over the phone testing ability to think quickly and analytically, and the on-site interview. First phone screen is done by recruiter; the second phone quiz is done by trader. Trader seemed tired and impatient as the call was scheduled at 5pm EST (end of the work/trading day).

Math Test, Behavioral Interview. Now onto the Trader Interview. Per the Behavioral Interview, I reviewed all of the questions on here which I believe helped me to pass on. One thing not posted: Assume I am a student at your school. Tell me about/convince me to join on of your clubs you are active with on campus.
