      Great as a career starter

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Amazing history of developing systems and solving problems, you touch and own a lot of projects that were really creative and tell a story 2. Interesting work and its diversity, from being close to research and trading to being a full systems developer 3. Amazing people and lack of documentation makes you keep talking to them a lot and learning from them directly. 4. Great pay, perks like free food, great office outings, etc.

      Cons

      1. Possibly longer work hours 2. Some lock in to Optiver specific technology and setup
