What is the salary like at Optiver?

The company offers excellent pay along with great perks, including free breakfast and lunch, as well as an annual company trip.

The company has an overly political environment, and its approach to utilizing employees feels exploitative, like squeezing blood from a stone. I would not recommend this workplace if you have a family or prioritize a healthy work-life balance.

Good staff benefits, reasonable hours, good pay

Can be demanding and limited growth opportunity

Good pay, good culture at company

No clear cons from personal experience

Great pay, benefits, culture, and hours

Could argue it isn't as prestigious as some other firms

Good Pay, excellent work culture

Tough Selection criterion, Hire only at top iits

The pay is good, although not market-leading, and can become really incredible if you somehow succeed here You will learn a lot and get real trading experience sooner than at most firms

Prepare to be shouted at, sworn at and see a constant stream of talented colleages let go because they didn't buy into the cult. Working here is a race to become an overpaid manager before anybody exposes that you actually aren't that good at the job itself. Feedback is opaque and often witheld or not put in writing to protect the giver. If you're senior or well-liked you can get away with behavior that would be unacceptable anywhere else; if not then tread very carefully. Everybody's goal is simply to make enough money to retire and get the hell out before their mental health is irreversibly damaged.

Great pay, excellent culture, friendly people

Work culture is beginning to get more intense. Most recent round of interns were judged much more harshly than before.

The pay is great and there are multiple opportunities to explore.

The hiring process and interviews can be quite tedious.

Good pay and good benefits

There isn't anything much to say

- Surrounded by smart, driven people. - Good pay and all round benefits - Invest in your growth and allows role changes where you show potential in.

- Long hours - Little to no breaks - Non-Hybrid
