Pros

Some very good technical people who are an enjoyment to work with when the politics don't interfere.

Cons

For a software company the management show a stunning lack of understanding of software development. Products developed and never sold. If you take satisfaction in seeing what you develop get used and getting positive feedback on you work this is not the place for you.

Pros

Wear jeans to work every day. Excellent medical/dental/FSA benefits provided by outsourced HR. Developers coming from a large corporation will be relieved to be unencumbered by bureaucracy. Sysadmins do an good job of providing enterprise-quality dev infrastructure on a budget. Development is agile and there is a solid SDLC process. Could be a could gateway job to a career in equities/options trading.

Cons

Be prepared to work 10-12 hour days to keep pace, and more at crunch time. PTO policy is archaic and uncompetitive, and there is no sick time. Don't expect to be paid comparably with developers putting in those kind of hours in midtown Manhattan. Don't expect a bonus, no matter how hard you work. Good people get laid off when money is tight.
