New Glassdoor Page - Same Poor Company. Stay away.

Pros

Besides the views from the office..not a lot. Many employees from the taken over companies are experienced, smart, hard working people, who get the short end of the stick, and the owner is oblivious to this.

Cons

So many to mention. They have created this NEW page under ION Group. Anyone out there looking for a career here should read the reviews of ION Trading. You will find a good one here and there, however rest assured that these were written by the crop of graduates that have hired over the past 3-4 years at management mandate. They recently let go a large amount of staff via text and email on New Years Eve. The ones let go from Wallstreet had over 75 years of expertise and experience. What does this say to the remaining staff? Hard work and loyalty gets you nothing. Many employees from acquired companies have received NO raises or bonuses for many years.

Pros

There are some smart workers and company events are not bad. If you are in a grad program you might like it for a little while

Cons

This is just a new page to hide the original Glassdoor page (ION Trading) but it’s the same company. It’s Very obvious that grads run the company and they are the only employees who have any klout with the CEO/execs. Any positive reviews are probably written by them. Getting employees to work for as little pay as possible is what the company is about. Salaries are low and raises are barely given out to even those who work the hardest. The CEO is not a good man. Business people can care about money and their employees too but this man does not. Management does not care or listen. They care more about useless data than actually making the company less terrible. You are promised a bonus but it’s very unlikely that you will get one and if you do you might as well have not gotten one at all. Benefits are not great and some people have a 401k match and some don’t. Some are trying to boost morale but it’s hard when tons of employees are fired on New Years Day. People do not write reviews because they are bored it is just to warn good people. You can do better

Pros

- Fresh out of college, most students wouldn't expect the level of responsibility or opportunities that ION offers to the LDP joiners. Within the first few months of the job, my LDP class was given the task of recruiting the next class of students. We were essentially asked to help build the new culture of the company. This continued to happen for the classes to follow. I believe this created a good sense of trust between LDP, the company, and upper management as well as the CEO. There are other countless projects that I myself and other LDP members have worked on with similar levels of responsibility and significant impact on the company. - The global reach and opportunities are what I believe are the most unique about this company. A lot of people within the company get the chance to travel for business, but the LDP program especially gives fantastic chances to travel, or even live, outside the country for a temporary amount of time. - The other great aspect of the company is that you have chances to move to all different sectors of the business if you're not happy with where you're currently placed. Obviously this takes negotiation and understanding from both sides, but the option is there nevertheless.

Cons

- Being a global company with so many offices across the world, it can be hard to manage everyone in the same manner. However, I think it's a big responsibility of the company to ensure that all offices receive the same treatment/benefits so that you create this fluent sense of inclusiveness. After visiting multiple offices, I get the sense that the attention level is not the same for everyone. - The LDP program definitely has an 'inside scoop" on what is happening within the company, but everyone outside of the program sometimes feel things are not that transparent. I think this is something the company is trying to improve and should improve sooner rather than later - Salary, bonuses, and raises have proven to be the achilles' heel of the company. Sometimes we lose or never secure great workers over compensation.
