Pros

Earning is TOO GOOD. Work culture is very nice. Job is too much fun and addictive. The management and seniors are very helpful. You are totally independent and take all trading decisions yourself.

Cons

The company is a bit infamous for its attrition rate, but it is usually a mutual decision between the employee and the management. Not much growth except for financial growth, which is exponenetial. Timings are a bit odd, but you get time for yourself - gym, movies, parties all can be done on the weekdays, and weekends are totally free.

Hello, We thank you for your valuable feedback and for the time spent in our company. While recruiting, we are transparent about the work conditions, including the job security aspect. Our recruitment process is well thought through and aims to invite candidates who are motivated by this unparalleled opportunity while our training process is built to provide newcomers the best chances to succeed. Indeed, in spite of all our efforts, it happens that expectations are not met - be it for us or for our people - and in these cases, unfortunately, the work relationship comes to an end. We are surprised that you feel that the learning potential is not big - being a Market Analyst requires constant learning, reading, and analyzing as markets are always changing. As we are dealing with international markets that are active 24 hours a day for most of the week, our offices remain open almost round-the-clock and our shift system is planned according to different time zones. While some have difficulties dealing with the night shifts, others - like yourself - find it as an opportunity to be off work during the day. Moreover, we indeed make sure that weekends are completely free, and with experience, timing becomes more flexible. We are sorry to hear that you feel that our facilities did not meet your expectations. Our team benefits from leisure zones and complementary cafeterias. We also organize healthy activities such as sports events, yoga sessions and travel events along the year. In some of our branches, our teams can choose to use paid pick up and drop off facilities organized by our company. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed working with us very much, appreciated our company culture, its generous rewards, the exciting nature of the job and the excellence of our management. Thanking you again, we wish you the best of luck for your future endeavours, The Futures First Team

"Great to hear that you value the stability and clear processes — those are important for ensuring consistency and smooth operations across teams. That's absolutely fair that process-driven roles can feel repetitive at times. As teams gain experience, there are often opportunities to take on additional responsibilities and bring more variety into the work."

Thank you for sharing your perspective—and for your long-standing contribution to the firm. It’s great to hear that the clarity and strategic direction of our leadership continue to stand out. That’s something we consistently strive to deliver as we scale and evolve in a fast-moving industry. On compensation, we’d like to clarify that our structure is aligned with industry standards. The commission-based component is designed to directly link performance with reward, making the model both fair and motivating. For those who consistently deliver, it provides a strong opportunity to be compensated in line with their impact. We appreciate your honest feedback—it helps guide how we grow stronger together.
