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

Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

Cons

When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
