Pros

You get to work with some of the sharpest people in the industry, as well as learn new industry information and terms on a daily basis. There is ample room for growth and professional development as long as you are willing to look for them.

Cons

It can be a stressful environment, but that is the nature of the industry. The amount of work Optiver puts in to make it a fun/casual office certainly offsets that.

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
