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 remuneration for senior traders/management Generally good technology and good training structure

Cons

Remuneration slashed through the years as the progression through bonus tiers has slowed by over 50%; management is clearly trying to keep the majority of the profits made
