Pros

- Great pay for entry level jobs - Wonderful medical benefits - Convenient location, near metro - Job security - Annual bonus - Highly regarded company, looks great on resume

Cons

- Weak company culture, most people work and then go home. HR does not commit time to make sure their employees are happy. - Upper management have been with the company for a long time, strict/non-flexible work culture (work from home is limited). - Path for promotion is unclear, no chance of moving up in certain positions.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with the company culture while at FINRA. We'd appreciate if you could share more information with us at glassdoor@finra.org. As for our Remote Work policy, a majority of our employees have been working remotely since March 2020 and we just released our new policy this week based on the idea that FINRA’s “Next Normal” will be a hybrid office environment—that is, a work environment that allows for a combination of remote and in-office presence. This policy will be implemented no sooner than January 2022.

Pros

Get to do a lot of hands on work. Lots of independence and interesting work. you will learn a lot.

Cons

Poor leadership. Managers are not more experienced and smarter than staff. Mean spirited top leaders. There are opportunities to promote here but no training on management skills.

Pros

Don't let "finance" and "regulation" deter you. If you work on a cool project, you'll hang out with the smartest people. Culturally, it's welcoming place, especially in terms of bringing in new ideas (as long as you can present them well) Good pay and work/life balance

Cons

Everyone have a good degree of flexibility so projects go on without direct hands-on management. This can sometimes backfire when an inflexible person is added to the mix and leadership isn't ready to mitigate the issue in a timely manner. No growth opportunity for designers.
