      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Optiver is ambitious and continues growing. There is a competitive spirit, a desire to be the best and long term aspirations. - Optiver realizes that people and talent are key to success. - For motivated, disciplined, ownership-seeking individuals there's tremendous upside and growth potential. Lots of examples of junior and campus hires eventually progressing to senior leadership positions. - Leadership takes transparency seriously. Not everything can and will be shared with everyone. However, compared to most places, a huge premium is put on transparency. - Optiver is a collaborative company. There's minimal intra-office competition. - There's a good quorum of technical and trading leaders that have been with the firm for a number of years.

      Cons

      - Optiver isn't without flaws, just like any other company. - When you have group of ambitious high-achievers, it's bound to create occasional tension. - There's always a crunch for resources. This can lead to difficulties focusing on the right things and tough decisions. - There are a number of areas, both internal and external, where Optiver should be more aggressive.
