Real nice co-workers, descent pay, recently modernized offices.

Cons

* CEO & CIO have lost their vision, if they had any to begin with. * Technologically they are still stalled in the era of main frames. * No innovation or creativity and it is not allowed either. * Lots of talks little action. * Mid-management are very uneducated with no clear drections (most VPs). * Constant lay-offs.

High Turnover. Former employee.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy to break into the world of FX. Good people I worked with for the most part. Can make decent money. Infrastructure is in place.

Cons

Where do I start. Very mismanaged, extremely low morale. Lost most of its most talented employees. The merging of 3 companies did not go well. Very disorganized senior management with no clear direction. Doesn't seem like the company knows what it wants to do.
