Pros: There are good perks and room for growth.

Cons: I don't think there are any.

Pros: It is a great place to better understand how tech works in the financial/trading industry.

Cons: The project range could be considered limited since all products are used internally and have no “large” customer base.

Pros: Free lunch, young crowd, flat management structure are some of the reasons that make SIG a good company. Depending upon the profitability of the group one is supporting (index desk, electronic options trading) resources are made available as needed to get things done. There are interesting projects to work aplenty in these groups.

Cons: The risk to reward ratio is skewed. The sense is that even if one works on challenging projects at the year end compensation bump/bonus are meager. The location of the company means that salaries are probably decent compared for the region but hardly Wall Street level.
