Pros

-Was recently let go here; some people would say this is a bad thing but honestly I think Alpha FX is a wet dream to the modern life. So here's the thing everything in life get expensive, or you have dreams that cost $$$ 99% of people in normal jobs don't get paid enough to have the life they wish for, their bonus barely meet the 2% inflation for the year. At alpha making 50k a month is not unheard of. BUT Alpha is the place to teach you the hard truth about hustle, it's a grind. (I think that's a pro) - You will play with people that are the Formula 1 Drivers of Sales, cream of the crop. (And winners only stay) -Definitly a Club mentality -Understands time is money, but also grind is equivalent to an exponential curve of $$ and respect. This is a JOB, yes a JOB that you get get wealthy from. -They like to Win at all costs. (Why is this a pro, I would say most people don't understand that winning is a grind, not luck, I would say I was fortunate in my time here to retaste that mentality, I had it playing sports and I missed it, win what ever it takes.) -You have to risk it to get the biscuit, be brave and bold. -Its fun

Cons

-That exponential curve we talked about earlier: it's kinda requirement is grinding long hours, and that part is pretty much mandatory. -Definitely a Club mentality either you in or you're out. -Not for someone who thinks through problems for fun, or is looking for an edge. (maybe there is but I wasn't there long enough; thinking out of the box get crushed; I understand that because what they do works. I still could help exploring new ways to do things its who I am; FYI be warned if your someone like that; this is not for you) -Add all the things about the negative reviews from other peoples reviews, but add in the mentality to win at all cost. You have to risk it to get the biscuit, be brave and bold. This Job is not for those who get hurt easily; nor is it for those that want to play "nice", this is the job of real life and the hard truth of capitalism. (great life learning session, con yes; but it really should be a PRO ) -Cons is I didn't apparently learn fast enough to stay.

Pros

Colleagues are always willing to help, and teamwork is highly encouraged, which makes working on projects more collaborative and enjoyable. There are plenty of opportunities for learning and development. The company regularly offers training sessions, workshops, and access to online courses, which have greatly helped in enhancing my skills. The workplace is inclusive and diverse, with a strong focus on creating an environment where everyone feels valued, regardless of their background.

Cons

Sometimes, there is a lack of clear communication from upper management. Important decisions or changes are not always communicated effectively

Pros

Amazing colleagues, some of the best people I've ever met. Good place to learn, exposure to finance and different corporate structures/sectors and how they work etc. Performance bonuses are great IF targets are met. Nice office with drinks

Cons

Not for the easily-overwhelmed. Tight deadlines, high pressure, micromanagement, toxic environment. More is always expected even when smashing targets, no room for error. Probation period feels like a scam, employees are taken off probation once management decides. Not mentioned during interview process. Limited career opportunities within compliance departments. Leadership severely lacks experience and very unprofessional. Also lacks oversight, resulting in frequent power-trips rather than providing guidance and support. Feedback and 121's are inconsistent, one-sided and rarely constructive. Frequent rule changes with little to no explanation behind decisions. Favoritism culture- promotions and recognition often go to friends of leadership rather than deserving hard-workers, Strong employees are often undervalued and overlooked. Parking sucks.
