FINRA – Why Work For Us?
We invest in our people.
With more than 3,000 employees nationwide, FINRA is committed to a diverse, high-performance workplace. We recognize that it’s the hard work and dedication of our team that makes FINRA the strong, successful organization it is. That’s why we offer a competitive compensation, benefits and services package. The value of employment at FINRA not only includes a competitive salary and incentives, but also outstanding insurance, retirement and savings plans.
Full-time employees and part-time employees working 20 or more hours per week, and their dependents, are eligible for a comprehensive program of flexible benefits. We offer the following options:
- medical
- dental
- vision
- employee and dependent life
- employee accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D)
- business travel accident
- short- and long-term disability
- legal services plan
Through our Savings Plus 401(k) Plan, you can contribute up to 50 percent of your eligible compensation, up to IRS limits, and FINRA will match 100 percent of the first 6 percent of base pay that you contribute to the plan. You are immediately 100-percent vested in all matching contributions and their earnings.
FINRA also contributes a percentage of eligible compensation in the form of a retirement contribution. Participation is at no cost and requires no contribution from you; vesting is incremental, and you are fully vested after six years of service with FINRA.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at FINRA (Washington, DC).
Interview
Interview process was time consuming. Met with several current employees, when one or two would have been sufficient, as no additional insight about the position or work environment provided. After several interviews and extremely encouraging feedback, mislead about receiving an offer.
Extreme lack of professional courtesy in failing to notify candidate of withdrawal of offer/non-offer within timeframe given by interviewer.Interview Questions
- General questions not related to job tasks. No interest in what skills I could bring to the job. Answer Question
