Pros

Very competitive compensation and benefits, free food, onsite barista to make you nice coffee, premium medical insurance, annual trip, weekly massage, comfortable and cozy working environment, etc. Able to work with super smart, talented and fun people. Great team work. Quick impact no matter how long you have been with the firm, people and the management team will listen to you as long as you have great and innovative ideas. You will be constantly challenged by people and you can also challenge other people so everyone is able to improve day by day. Very reasonable working hours.

Cons

Still in the honeymoon period with Optiver, nothing I can think of for now.

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
