Pros: Interesting work, good food, and perks.

Cons: Work can be stressful at times.

Pros: Optiver operates as one of the best in a fast-paced sector. This means there is an increasing need for agile working, rapid deployments, and feedback loops. Simultaneously, great attention is paid to control and security concerning the trading operation and production environment. It is a constant challenge to balance these two. Since the entire IT management changed two years ago, a tremendous upheaval has occurred, leading to work in smaller teams with developers, engineers, and traders instead of separate departments. This creates an interesting and challenging dynamic. Many bright minds work here, and you are constantly learning. New challenges and opportunities to excel are constantly coming your way. In the end, the bottom line is what counts: either we made money or we didn't.

Cons: There is enormous pressure to continuously reduce the 'time to market' for new features, systems, and configurations. This can sometimes lead to the need to take shortcuts that haven't been thoroughly considered. This can create a significant amount of technical debt and unplanned work.

Pros: + Little politics + Tech leads still write code + No red tape

Cons: - Can get stressful depending on the team.
