      Quantitative Researcher Interview

      17 Sept 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Sydney
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Optiver (Sydney) in Aug 2015

      Interview

      I had a phone interview only and there is no much to tell about it. Regular general questions about experience, reasons to leave, etc. The main complaint is about process in general. I managed to check the status of my job application and get a phone call only after 1+ month using LinkedIn as a primary communication method, contacting directly the head of HR department because they did not reply to the emails. After that I was informed that they would make a decision regarding the 2nd technical interview within 2 week. After 3 weeks waiting I contacted directly the HR person who conducted the interview using LinkedIn again (they had not replied to my email again) and received a standard message about high number of applications. After 2 weeks I contacted Head HR again, they called me back on the next day informing that my application was not successful. I am sure that there was a high workload at that moment, and completely understand that. However, as far as I can see, my case is not the first one and I would prefer be informed about estimated time to wait in advance.
