      What is the salary like at Optiver?

      Optiver reviews

      This is not a suitable workplace for individuals who value work-life balance

      Network engineer
      Current employee
      Sydney
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company offers excellent pay along with great perks, including free breakfast and lunch, as well as an annual company trip.

      Cons

      The company has an overly political environment, and its approach to utilizing employees feels exploitative, like squeezing blood from a stone. I would not recommend this workplace if you have a family or prioritize a healthy work-life balance.

      Pros

      Good Pay, excellent work culture

      Cons

      Tough Selection criterion, Hire only at top iits

      The most toxic work environment I have ever encountered

      Trader
      Former employee
      Amsterdam
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay is good, although not market-leading, and can become really incredible if you somehow succeed here You will learn a lot and get real trading experience sooner than at most firms

      Cons

      Prepare to be shouted at, sworn at and see a constant stream of talented colleages let go because they didn't buy into the cult. Working here is a race to become an overpaid manager before anybody exposes that you actually aren't that good at the job itself. Feedback is opaque and often witheld or not put in writing to protect the giver. If you're senior or well-liked you can get away with behavior that would be unacceptable anywhere else; if not then tread very carefully. Everybody's goal is simply to make enough money to retire and get the hell out before their mental health is irreversibly damaged.
