      Pros

      Optiver is a great place to work for motivated developers that want to hone their craft and view themselves as professional engineers. I enjoy working here because no one tries to hold my hand. There are plenty of opportunities to do impactful work and to grow. The development team is focused on staying lean and getting done what needs to be done.

      Cons

      Overall the development team is rather young. A lot of effort needs to be put into growing these young developers and some areas are lacking in expertise.

      Pros

      Very challenging. You will learn a lot. If you become good you are in but if you fall behind you are out.

      Cons

      Can be long hours. Might not get the specific area you are interested in.

      Pros

      --pay is good for junior traders as well as senior traders with no skills. --perks are good. --most people are friendly. --expanding nicely.

      Cons

      --management not open to new and possibly better ideas. everything has to be done his exact way. many times, the end result is the initially proposed solution and management is not willing to admit being wrong. --as with many companies, how well you perform matters very little compared to how much management likes you, even though there are very objective metrics for a trading firm: P&L!!! they will find excuses to cut your bonus significantly.
