Optiver Work Experiences
- 2.0High paying but pretentiousApplication Engineer • Current EmployeeAmsterdam, NetherlandsFebruary 4, 2025Pros: Many talented colleagues. Great compensation (salary, bonus, massages, good coffee, decent food 3 times a day).Cons: Claims ‘people are key,’ however: * Compensation is often used as an excuse to be treated badly. * More than once, you are reminded that tech doesn’t earn the money. What trading wants, trading gets. More so, there’s a lot of focus towards public appearance, while internally there are only eyes on how to make more money.
- 4.0Great place to internSoftware Developer • Former EmployeeSydney, AustraliaAugust 28, 2019Pros: Amazing mentorship, great food, and people.Cons: Can be a bit intimidating starting.
- 4.0Good for startersSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeAmsterdam, NetherlandsSeptember 3, 2018Pros: Good for starters, you don't need a financial market background to be employed. The company provides necessary training and a good bonus for a good job.Cons: Technical debt slows down the innovation cycle. You need to be very creative to arrange some time for innovation. This is due to a lack of system architects and quality assurance.
