Pros

The monthly salary is very good, and you also receive a yearly bonus based on your performance. Once a year, they organize an Optiver weekend, which is very nice, and you can also bring your partner. They also have a weekly chair massage.

Cons

A lot of politics is involved at every level. The quality of code is not stressed enough. Old technologies are used, and there is no incentive to use any new technologies. There are no opportunities to grow. If you want to move to a higher level, you have to fight with politics, and this is not pleasant.
