Pros
Since I have joined Optiver, I feel excited about the work I do. I am challenged every day and feel like I make an impact. I work with dynamic teams that are also passionate about what they do. I have never considered myself a creative person, but here I am surrounded by people that are full of ideas on how we can continue to improve. At first what may seem like a foreign concept becomes second nature and you find yourself doing the same. It is an environment that fosters creativity and continuous improvement. Our team separates Optiver from other companies. The people here are smart, humble, and team-oriented. We all win together. Finally, we have principals and opinions on where we stand in our industry. Whether you ask someone that has been here 6 months or 6 years, you hear the same story. It's not only refreshing, but I'm proud to be a part of a company where employees believe in our mission.
Cons
Less of a con and more of an opportunity for betterment. I've talked about continuous improvement and our employees want the same for themselves. We need to provide outlets and opportunities where our employees can continue their personal and professional development.
