FINRA Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with the company culture while at FINRA. We'd appreciate if you could share more information with us at glassdoor@finra.org. As for our Remote Work policy, a majority of our employees have been working remotely since March 2020 and we just released our new policy this week based on the idea that FINRA’s “Next Normal” will be a hybrid office environment—that is, a work environment that allows for a combination of remote and in-office presence. This policy will be implemented no sooner than January 2022.
