Pros

* Decent Salary * Overtime Pay

Cons

Joining this company is like signing your soul to the devil, with demanding expectations that often encroach upon personal time. There seems to be pressure to maintain positive reviews, potentially influenced by feedback emails sent out after a few months of employment. The work culture at FNZ is fast-paced, prioritizing velocity counts as a metric of value. Overtime is common, driven by unrealistic deadlines set by the CEO. Job stability is a concern, with employees feeling disposable and under constant pressure to perform. Members from Group Office often add to the stress by increasing workload and unrealistic expectations. Communication channels for addressing issues are limited, especially with upper management. Leave applications may be rejected in favor of project demands, further adding to employee dissatisfaction. It's unfortunate that positive reviews on Glassdoor may not accurately reflect the experiences of all employees. Working with outdated technology like VB code from 2003 adds to the frustration and challenges faced by employees. It's important to consider all factors before joining a company, and I hope your experience improves or that you find a better fit elsewhere.

Pros

FNZ has been an incredible company to work for and is being run by the best leadership team you could ask for. We’re experiencing a significant amount of growth and our executive staff is driving the organization to new heights. Over the last couple of years, the entire operating model has been optimized aligning all teams to the vision which has enabled collaboration and makes it enjoyable to go to work.

Cons

We need high performing employees that want to constantly push the needle forward. There’s still many employees that are skating on by…however, the new management team has done a great job filtering out the detractors.

Pros

Fast-paced environment High visibility Supportive peers

Cons

My experience within the CEO Office at FNZ was, unfortunately, the most toxic professional environment I have encountered in my career. While the role offered visibility and proximity to senior leadership, the culture at the top was defined by fear, intimidation, and a profound lack of respect for support staff. Long hours were expected (including nights and weekends), but basic professionalism, appreciation, and empathy were often absent. Communication frequently involved raised voices, public criticism, and reactions disproportionate to the situation. Situations outside of anyone’s control were treated as personal failures. There was little psychological safety, and many employees were reluctant to speak up due to fear of retaliation or career consequences. What was most disappointing was not the workload — it was the tone and treatment. Hard work went unacknowledged. Loyalty was not reciprocated. Requests for reasonable discussion or negotiation were taken personally and met with swift, punitive responses. Several colleagues privately expressed similar concerns, but few felt safe voicing them openly. There are talented and hardworking people at FNZ, and the firm has significant potential. However, until leadership models respect, emotional intelligence, and accountability, turnover and morale challenges will likely persist.
