      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - good compensation - nice perks(trips, food etc) - good work/life balance

      Cons

      - unskilled middle management - during the period I have been there having initiative has become increasingly discouraged - although advertised as flat, the structure is very hierarchical - a rush for doing things fast without understanding the outcomes - a lot of politics

      -big firm growth potentials -good benefits & perks -still developing

      Being a trader at Optiver is very challenging and extremely rewarding

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - very smart and motivated colleagues - atmosphere is more like a software startup than a company in finance - high level of autonomy within months - given a free reign to explores new ideas - very strong remuneration. Approximately 1M aud per annum within 4-5 years - very approachable management

      Cons

      - tiring work; being a trader requires a lot of concentration - variable income; majority of payment is dependent on company profits. Quite standard for trading companies though
