Pros

Working at HF Markets has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my career. From day one, I felt welcomed into a workplace that values people, collaboration, and continuous growth. What truly made the experience special was the incredible team. I had the privilege of working alongside talented, supportive, and genuinely kind colleagues who made even the busiest days enjoyable. I was also fortunate to have one of the best managers who was not only an excellent leader but also a great mentor. His trust, guidance, and encouragement created an environment where I felt empowered to contribute, grow, and take on new challenges with confidence. As an HR Business Partner, I gained invaluable experience, worked on meaningful projects, and had the opportunity to collaborate with professionals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. The fast-paced and international nature of the business made every day an opportunity to learn something new. While careers often take us in different directions, I will always look back on my time at HF Markets with gratitude. The people, the culture, and the experiences I gained have left a lasting impact on both my professional and personal development. I would wholeheartedly recommend HF Markets to anyone looking for a workplace where they can grow, be challenged, and work with truly exceptional people.

Cons

the only downside is the location in Larnaca otherwise I might have stayed there until retirement.

Pros

Company is ok but the web development department and communication between departments is awful

Cons

During my time at HFM, legacy systems and heavy technical debt made development and maintenance more complex and time-consuming than expected. Code reviews weren’t really a thing — tasks could sit waiting for review for a long time, slowing everything down. When issues came up, ownership was often unclear, leading to cross-team blame-shifting instead of structured resolution, which created tension and slowed incident handling. Leadership and coordination felt inconsistent, and organizational alignment wasn’t always strong enough for smooth execution under pressure. Overall, the company treated me well and offered a decent salary, but the web development department was extremely inefficient and micromanaging — down to having to report “good morning,” breaks, “back,” and “bye” in chat every day.

Pros

The offices are nice. Could be better.

Cons

* There is a high probability that you will not work in the position that you interviewed for. They will put you in whatever position is open at the time, no matter what qualifications and past experience you have. DO NOT BELIEVE what they tell you in the interviews. * They have a "hire to fire" mentality. Like I said above, if it happens to put you in a position that is unrelated to what you interviewed for and outside of your abilities, they will fire you in 6 months after the probation period ends with whatever silly reason they come up with. * The engineering practices they follow are horrible. Chaos is a word that only partially describes what is happening here. Don't-Repeat-Yourself, proper unit testing, avoiding even basic SQL injection attacks etc is something they have never heard probably. * Many projects are extremely outdated and kept together with hacks and prayers basically. * I have never in my entire carrer seen so incompetent team leads and managers, lacking both in technical skill as well as people management skills. * The whole company is a Cypriot clique.
