Vantaggi

*A good place to learn some basics as a new college graduate; *If you were a quality student, you will likely have more experience than your manager; *Based on your department and manager, an opportunity to obtain information quickly over a short period of time prior to moving on to a more professional company; *There are some good people working for the company, very few, but some; *The medical and dental plans are okay, but you will never see matching 401K! Forget it!

Svantaggi

*The company is corrupt, especially on the upper management level; lacks ethics and integrity; *The management staff lacks experience and does not have the opportunity to train with other professionals to know that their experience level is below average; *The inexperience trains the inexperienced, a combination that does not produce top talent that is competitive outside the company; *The culture and vision is poor, as nepotism is extremely, extremely, high....meaning, mostly all persons in top level positions are related to the partners, friends of the partners, possibly intimate with upper management, in the partner's religion group, or connected to the partners; *Over 90% of employees will never reach their true goals/potential while working for this company; if you accept a position, only remain for 1-2 years at max for resume purposes and move on to a company that will compensate you fairly, treat you fairly and respect you professionally; *The best advise, do not trust anyone in this company, not even legal, as there is no real camaraderie....whenever a company is corrupt from top down, you should only trust people as far as you can see them; as soon as your back is turned, your trust level should be at 0;

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience working at FXCM. We greatly value the opportunity to utilize this information constructively so that we may capitalize on the positive and work on areas that may need improvement. As a long-tenured former employee, we appreciate that you have much insight to offer and do take this review seriously. As your review identifies, FXCM offers a fast-paced learning environment that will enrich its employees to achieving a high level of skills more quickly than could be done elsewhere. Having founded the company in 1999 and grown so quickly in a short 14 years, FXCM provides its employees with the opportunity to grow with it. Employees gain international exposure, travel to offices overseas, interact with colleagues around the globe, and are able to directly impact the strategy of their team. The success of the company was built by the employees, and the camaraderie gained from a team-achieved success is bar none to larger, more bureaucratic firms. Our health insurance plan ensures that the employees and their families have a comprehensive plan protecting them where it is most needed. Our medical plan has no deductibles, inexpensive premiums and fully covers most medical events. This is one way that FXCM shows its employees that we care. Here are a few highlights of the efforts made in the past year to improve on areas mentioned in this review: • Instituted company-wide management training for recently promoted managers. This program ensures that our new management talent is qualified and prepared for the important role of leading a team. • Launched a Performance Management System, utilized globally, that is used to consistently measure employee performance, identify career-paths and reward fairly based on merit. • Implemented an aggressive talent acquisition strategy and competitive selection process to ensure that only the best and the brightest in the field are brought aboard. As we continue to identify ways we can improve as a growing firm, your individual feedback is vital. Again, thank you for providing his helpful information. Our goal is to assure that attention is paid to any areas of concern, and your feedback is being taken into careful consideration.
