Pros

Ridiculously good remuneration, especially for traders. Free breakfast and lunch. Lots of responsibility. Annual company trip. Weekly massages. ... The pros go on.

Cons

It's very hard work and your best is always expected. This is only a con if you want an easy job. Optiver is the best at what they do because they push the best people to their limits. Again, not necessarily a con. Trading can be stressful.

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
