Salary at Optiver

Well above average

Very generous.

Quite meritocratic, and we are compensated generously

Generous.

The pay is very competitive for the industry, and the bonus incentivizes everyone to work collectively and improve the company.

Bonus structure beyond graduate is extremely appealing, and not only incentivises you to help the business, but also rewards you for pushing yourself and getting a promotion. Base salary is relatively low and does not increase much (at most 10%) per promotion. However, the bonus is a profit share, and generally the proportion doubles every promotion.

Not hidden and known

Decent, very variable

Quite high both inside and outside the industry, bonus dependent on performance.

The pay and bonus structure is very generous

One of the best in Australia for a graduate role.

pay and bonus is very generous and career progression is very clear and transparent.

Best is just food i.e. breakfast/lunch and amenities, snacks, drinks in the office.

My favourite perks: Fitness classes, drinks on Fridays and our annual trip (very fun).

Free lunches are pretty good.

Free breakfast and lunch are the best perks. You get tons of discounts through an employee app on your phone. If moving from out of the city, the company covers your flights and provides 1 month accommodation at a great hotel.

On-site free lunch, stocked fridges etc Free Uber to/from work if covid risk on public transport deemed too high, or need to use satellite office for various reasons. Free alcohol and food on Friday nights, alongside pool, table tennis, Nintendo switch, various card and board games on site. Annual trip for the weekend which is usually interstate, fully paid for.
