Pros

I do not have any positive feedback to share regarding the Stonex Alpharetta Prime Broker Team.

Cons

As a former employee of the Stonex Alpharetta Prime Broker Team, I cannot express the level of unprofessionalism displayed by this specific group/office. I had previously written a well thought-out review on this website regarding my experience in the role on the Prime Broker Team, of which I deemed appropriate, accurate, and well versed. (That review has since received numerous 'up-votes' on the platform). Quite some time following the previous review I had written, I was contacted by a current employee of this Stonex office, who was pressuring me to remove or update my review. I strongly do not consider this group to be a professional or healthy team, let alone a positive work environment. I continue to stand by my original opinions, of which I believe I have a right to express and share with others - whom may be considering joining this team. I encourage other potential candidates to consider the ethical nature of this situation, when applying or considering a position on this specific team.

Pros

Reasonable salary and bonus, but that is about it.

Cons

There are many good companies in Des Moines that treat their employees well and encourage them to be successful. INTL FCStone is not one of them. - Management out of their Chicago office has laid off, or through negative interactions, cause a significant number of IT people to leave. It may be approaching 50% of total, including many senior managers. Barely a week goes by without a few resignations. - Their IT staff has poor direction and no real focus on next steps. There is a lot of work being done that no one understands why and it is often discarded, with negative input, even though it might be valuable. - Senior management, to allow the things to happen that have happened in the last 12 months must be clueless. -Please for the sake of your career, do not consider joining them.

Horrible Work/Life Balance

Pros

- The people at the bottom, those that actually contribute are good folks who care about their team members and want to deliver quality work. - Enjoyed working with people from a variety of cultures around the world.

Cons

- Pay starts out at a decent level, but raises are less than yearly inflation. - No matter how much you contribute some middle-manager will be leaning over your shoulder trying to push you to give more hours of your life away so they can get bigger bonuses from your work. - The executives (EXCO) are clueless hacks. Competent lower level managers with years of experience on given software platforms will give reasonable and informed estimates on work timelines, EXCO will overrule them and force arbitrary timelines that are not grounded in reality. This leads to a great deal of downstream problems and the people at the bottom are left to deal with the fallout. - RTO is being forced on employees. They did surveys where everyone thought WFH made their lives much better, They didn't like the survey results and are forcing RTO anyway for vague BS reasons. - They constantly send out "wellness" emails shifting the blame from their awful culture to the employees. - Soulless management/HR. I watched a co-worker who was struggling with mental health issues get fired by HR over an incident his supervisor caused even though he was working with a counselor, and actively trying to get better.
