Optiver reviews

The benefits and perks at Optiver are really stellar. It is a very good place to work. The work is fast paced and exciting. There is an opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies. Most of the people are a pleasure to work with. The job can be stressful at times, but the work life balance saves it. 25 vacation days is well ahead of other companies outside of the trading industry.

Optiver Chicago is an amazing office with great people. The executive team is young, principled and accessible without tendencies to micro-manage or impose questionable policies. The overall culture of the Chicago office in particular is very nice, very diverse, and extremely active. There is always a cool outing or volunteering activity going on. People are proud to be here and there tends to be a good mix of old and new employees. There is turnover but it seems to be less than other places ive either worked at or heard of, seems natural. The office is growing which is exciting and the management and support teams do a good job of scaling without discomfort. Overall I really think this is a good place to work and if you work hard and can keep up with an all star team its a great place to be.
