      Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are sorry to hear you had a negative experience with management. We are in the middle of transforming our Examination and Risk Monitoring program to make it more effective and efficient, and we hope the changes being made will address the concerns you mention. In particular, we heard a lot of feedback when it comes to training and education and are making a big investment there. Employee feedback is the backbone of that transformation, so feel free to share any additional insights at glassdoor@finra.org

      Nice place to work

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Mission - protecting America's investing public and the integrity of the markets. Team attitude - people help each other, collegial environment, no backstabbing and climbing over each other as on the street. Diversity is high priority.

      Cons

      Budget constraints equals more work than our new staff can handle, so experienced staff are routinely overwhelmed.
