Please describe the interview / hiring process.
First largest weeding cut is of course the 3-level arithmetic speed test. You have to practice online to be super fast with the basic multiplications divisions etc to have a chance, and 90% get cut here. Then there is a normal enough phone interview with HR and then a 3-interview day at hq in amsterdam. Options knowledge definitely needed to show interest in the company during the interview.
