Pros

Excellent environment, very helpful service desk and HR, great people around, lots of useful trainings, free Dutch&English language courses, team dinners a few times per year, 10 additional days of vacation after 1st year. Not having an external customer turned out to be awesome - you really feel you're one team with everyone trying to help and solve the problems.

Cons

Sometimes it could be too much stress, but normally it's all right

Pros

* Extremely fast paced company which encourages lots of innovation. * Ability to start working on systems and within teams very shortly after starting. * Working with some of the smartest, most experienced and down to earth people in their field of specialty so there is definitely lots of mentoring happening. * Casual dress (shorts, t-shirt and thongs are a popular winner here). * Very flat organisational hierarchy (no micromanagement). * Very open and collaborative environment - everything from projects to financial performance and company strategy is regularly communicated and presented to employees. * Very focused on professional development of employees. * Cool office and awesome perks (free breakfast, lunch and coffee provided by an onsite chef and barista, weekly massages, beer, Xbox, Playstation, Street Fighter arcades and pool tables).

Cons

If you like wearing a suit and tie, enjoy office politics and micromanagement than Optiver probably isn't the right place for you.
