Pros

Good perks Good work life balance Multicultural

Cons

People who have big egos and personal agendas, always have an opinion about everything and are subtly fighting to keep their backs safe. Bad apples. People who are not passionate about the company, do the minimum work and they don’t are not fired because Optiver is afraid to fire them and is waiting for them to leave.

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
