Candidatei-me online. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Optiver (New York, NY).
Entrevista
The online assessment was the standard assessment described online. It contains sections for arithmetic, sequences, quick games, probability, and a personality questionnaire. I've only done the online assessment so far.

Q: Arithmetic, then sequences, then memory/mental games, then probability problems, then questionnaire
OA -> Behavioural->Cognitive 1 -> Cognitive 2 -> Final Round (1 HR Interview, 1 Technical). Behavioural interview quite standard but trading games played for Cognitive 1 and 2 rely on quick mental calculation of odds and implied probabilities
