BGC Group Reviews

Bully type playground on brokers floor. No one has gone to university, nepotism, saw 2 generations working on the same desk. Racist, homophobic jokes (yes they call it banter but this is a workplace) Shouting at each other rather than helping and supporting each other Low expectations and respect towards junior brokers (got shouted at for getting a herb chicken instead of a sweet chili chicken for one of the brokers - yes they make you get coffee and lunches for the brokers...)

No career progression whatsoever. You will never get a pay rise. Bonuses are bad and due the ridiculously complicated options scheme will take you 5 years to fully get just one years' allocations. Too many people in management making ill informed decisions and flicking from one idea to the next without taking stock of what is going on at the ground level. You will work on a project and then half way through be told it's being canned and to do something else instead. The support for all the legacy systems can easily take up half your time and management still expect you to deliver a full day's work all the time. Silo based teams. Also 1% pension and minimum holiday (20-22 days)
