Pros: Nothing at all, which used to be a good place

Cons: 1. Next year’s grads get paid much higher than the current senior engineers. 2. Double digit people left after getting bonus. 3. Everyone is so unhappy. 4. They will punish you when you leave the company by giving you unpaid non compete. 5. Lunch is so bad and coke is locked in the fridge until 5pm Friday.

Pros: You will learn a lot on trading systems and business information on various desks, their TA program is very good for someone fresh out of the school and they have various rotation schedule which will give you an idea on what area of work you like to pursue your career. Good for someone who likes to play poker as they have an annual event every year where all the employees are encouraged to participate which is very good and they have free lunches every day which is good/bad based on your food habits

Cons: No growth beyond team lead / manager in the information technology departments

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.
