Pros

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.

Cons

I honestly don't have many material cons to add. Extended hours on the Barista? Longer massages?

Pros

Great benefits, great team atmosphere, room for growth. They strive to make a fun work environment so it often doesn't feel like work.

Cons

Typical office politics can often get in the way of getting work done or people giving their best. Easy to check out in that setting.
