      Pros

      Excellent work-life balance, very active employee resource groups, and a nice selection of volunteer opportunities.

      Cons

      Depending on your career path, limited room for growth. Examiners have more opportunity to move into management than analyst.

      Pros

      Good job for recent grads wanting to get experience in the financial services sector. Opens doors for much better opportunities.

      Cons

      Compensation is weak compared to the industry and even other financial regulators. Motivated and talented employees leave for better opportunities which leaves average to sub-par employees as the lifers. 4-5 years is the max you should stay there.

      Pros

      FINRA is a mission-driven organization from top to bottom: protecting the investor and the integrity of the financial markets. As such, employees are passionate about their work -- it's not about quarterly profits at all. The salaries and benefits are excellent and there is a strict "workplace respect" policy. It was the first place I ever worked with zero harassment. No bad behavior is allowed here. Excellent workplace for women. Sensible budgets. Transparent employee review processes.

      Cons

      As a regulator of the securities industry, FINRA has very high standards. FINRA employees are expected to carefully follow established processes and gain approvals in advance. This is not a place where you cut corners, or "ask forgiveness". If you want decisions made quickly, you will be frustrated. Your work must be perfect and you may work long hours.
