      Toxic Culture and blatantly anti- LGBTQ - Trader Optiver Employee Review

      Pros

      Compensation and WLB is decent as well as the amenities and perks

      Cons

      People are brutally rude in the office and do not hold back in screaming profanities etc. while trying to get a point across. I also felt that there was 0 support for LGBT and minority groups in the office and I along with many others who identify as LGBT were scared to make that known due to people using slurs regarding these groups of people rather commonly. Additionally. management and seniors tend to discriminate in bonuses and other things towards people of these groups.

      Pros

      worked on a lot of different areas of the trading stack; often close with researchers learned about technical components for data driven trading saw my impact day to day

      Cons

      constant office renovations were a bit distracting, but was told it should be done in 2026

      Pros

      Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

      Cons

      When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
