Pros

The monthly salary is very good and you also receive an yearly bonus based on your performance. Once a year they organize 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 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. No opportunities to grow, if you want to move to a higher level you have to fight with politics and this is not pleasant.
