Pros: Wlb is great. Col is great

Cons: Growth I heard is parabolic so might be slow at start until you gain more trust. Tech is more like quant dev in front office roles. You are focused on making trading better for the firm. So if you are heavy on tech not sure if this is the right job

Pros: Competitive salary and benefits Relaxed work environment (can wear jeans for example) Work with very intelligent people Can use a variety of technologies, whatever is best suited Challenging and fun work with a rapid development flow Little micro management Privately owned so not a lot of bureaucracy

Cons: 50 hour work week (45 in office) Lacks a good tuition reimbursement program, existing one is inadequate Little room for growth and additional responsibility regardless of glowing performance reviews Also work with very incompetent people The catered lunches are pretty awful Very opaque senior management Poor communication between teams which creates redundancy and a lack of ownership No code reviews Working at home greatly discouraged

Pros: Some of the teams/managers are not bad to work for...Good benefits and free lunch/breakfast

Cons: Technologically backward, very little scope of learning or growing technologically, lot of politics, review process is the worst I have seen....starts with manager telling you since he is the manager you have to accept his review comments and then you don't get to talk to anyone above him as part of review. So even though you can talk to management...you have the risks. Otherwise very ill managed software division, you have event driven applications running from PCs which nobody knows of, you are expected to work on applications with no documentation or source control.....so you even don't know if the code is latest....but anything fails or happens you are blamed....There are lot of better places in Philly to works...which pays nearly same or more sometimes.
