Pros

Food provided all day, free gym, all employees show respect and professionalism, casual environment is productive, and many opportunities for interns here. Bala location is 13 minutes from the Philadelphia area, with a Target conveniently located across the street

Cons

7am to 5pm work days can easily wear you out....but they compensate you for the longer workweek....I turned down much higher paying jobs to work here (but the position makes up for it)

Pros

Great freedom and autonomy given to newer employees in project work; good, casual environment; flat office hierarchy (which can be appealing)

Cons

If you don't fit the bill for "trader" as an AT, you're bound to get fired without forewarning; flat office hierarchy (which limits advancement)

Advice to Senior Management

The education department could do better keeping ATs informed about their performance and risk of being let go.

Free lunches, gym, social events

Cons

Lack of career advancement - no career path

Pros

Responsibility is earned, and granted.

Severe restrictions on personal trades. Took away cookies at lunch.

Advice to Senior Management

Please stop trying to regulate the food we eat. Let the skinny people eat what they want.

SIG is a place filled with smart people with a great community. Free lunch. Comfortable environment to collaborate with others. Challenging work at times with many resources and people to learn from.

It is difficult at times to see your future at SIG when you are not on a particular track.

Pros

The learning environment is great.

Cons

The pay is less than similar jobs else where.

Advice to Senior Management

People with good contribution should be paid better.
