Our age of information technology has significantly expanded the opportunities for making money. Some professions that promise great earnings today appeared only due to the ability to immediately respond to all changes in the world, including in the securities market, as well as in banking. At the same time, few people manage to combine several types of activities at the same time and open a company that unites talented and capable people who are well-versed in modern realities. Among such organizations, the Finam company stands out, reviews of which are quite common on the Internet. Moreover, equally often, current employees and clients write comments about it. Both of them believe that the company is one of the most successful in its industry throughout Russia.

Company Formation
Today it is difficult to imagine that a successful holding was once created as a small company providing analytical and information services. The ideological inspirer of the business was Viktor Remsha, who to this day is the owner of the company. In the ninety-fourth year of the last century, he, along with several of his classmates, created a newsletter company that covers the situation on the Forex market (Finam's customer reviews of that period have not been preserved).
After a year of the company’s existence, Ramshi’s partners went out of business, and he remained the only rightful owner. Around the same time, he became interested in brokerage services, promising a great future. Quite quickly, Finam took its place among Russian companies enjoying the unlimited trust of their customers.
By the mid-nineties, the organization, still young at that time, began to open its first branches. For several years, representative offices were opened in Orenburg, Noyabrsk, Saratov and other cities. By the beginning of the two thousandth year, there were already thirty-four of them.
Holding formation
In the new millennium, the company made a big leap in its development, now it is no longer an ordinary broker. Finam's customer reviews let us know that at that time the organization began to introduce innovations that quickly distinguished it from a number of similar Russian companies. In addition, Finam decided on its main customers, they were private traders who previously had no opportunity to take such an active part in the auction.
The company's first innovation was the launch of online trading. Finam (the company began to receive feedback on its work during this period more often) managed to create a platform for those who dreamed of bidding via the Internet. Now they received admission to the world's major stock, currency and commodity exchanges.
After the success of Internet trading, the company launched another new product - a system for trading shares outside the stock exchange. Soon, Finam entered the top five leading stock market operators.
At this time, the company acquired a bank, which initially worked only with private clients. But two years later it was renamed as investment, and after another five years the bank became universal.
By 2010, the holding became one of the largest in Russia. Its turnover doubled, representative offices were opened in almost nine dozen settlements.
In parallel, the holding started the formation of mutual investment funds. In just a few years, their number has reached eleven. Market analysts were surprised to notice that Finam has a high share in the country's stock market turnover. She was at that time almost twenty percent.
Holding day today
About eight years ago, the company decided to please its customers with another innovation - the launch of a social network designed for traders. It was so popular that after a short period of time it was transformed into a specialized service where traders could communicate with each other and also learn. This service has become popular with almost five hundred thousand traders from around the world. In this regard, training is conducted in twenty-one languages.
Seven years ago, Finam was the first Russian broker to open offices in the United States and other countries. Since this period, the holding has received annual awards from international agencies and has been at the top of the reliability ratings. The founder of the holding regularly falls into the lists of the most successful millionaires involved in Internet projects.
In recent years, Viktor Remsha considers brokerage services and investments in information technology to be the main areas of the holding that bring him income. The latter area has managed to become a priority and is actively developing.
Finam Holding: employee reviews
In Moscow and other Russian cities, vacancies in this company are in great demand, since Finam has managed to prove itself a responsible employer for all the years of its existence. Such a conclusion can be made by examining the positive reviews about the holding. And they, by the way, are much more than negative. A similar ratio in our time is found less and less. What do employees write about their employer in reviews?
If you analyze all the comments left by employees, then you can quite easily identify the advantages of the holding. Almost everyone who happened to work in it, note that they always receive wages on time. The company management takes care of its employees and is responsible for payments. At the same time, an employee showing consistently good results can count on an increase in wages. This is another plus of the holding. In it, each employee is appreciated and receives the appropriate remuneration.
Often, in their reviews, employees write about the strictly delineated responsibilities of each employee. None of the management will force their subordinates to work overtime or load them with the affairs of another employee.
Especially many mention the selection in the company. Only high-class specialists get here, as the interview takes place in several stages. The HR managers working in the holding know their job very well, and the applicant will have to try to prove their professionalism.
In the comments, they often write about the management of Finam from different branches. However, the vast majority of reviews are positive. Employees note that superiors never find fault with trifles and treat staff fairly.
Many are happy with the bonus system. It is well thought out and is a good stimulating factor. In addition, thanks to bonuses, an employee can significantly increase his monthly earnings.
All staff receive a supplement for meals. And this fact becomes a pleasant surprise for most job seekers when applying for a job. Such care for employees characterizes the employer very clearly.
Often, reviews refer to work registration. Finam produces it strictly according to the Labor Code, that is, employees can be sure that they receive only a white salary, with which all contributions are made to the relevant organizations.
Almost all employees attribute its social package to the advantages of the holding, which differs significantly from the average adopted in Russia. For example, any employee of the company has the opportunity to visit the gym for free. Not every employee of large Russian holdings can boast of this.
Many in the reviews note the convenient location of the office and its structure. In the premises, everything is thought out so that employees can safely perform their work without interfering with each other. Despite the use of the open space system in the design of the office, a feeling of complete isolation is created during the working day.
Often, employees give a positive assessment to mentoring in the company. The system is built in such a way that every beginner takes a detailed training course. No one will leave an employee alone with a ton of tasks. He can always turn to his boss and his colleagues for clarification on any working issues. This approach allows beginners to quickly get used to, join the team and increases productivity.
Negative reviews
Despite the abundance of pluses, some employees of the holding note a number of minuses, which, however, do not spoil the overall picture. First of all, from the negative nuances, we can single out the collective assessment. In certain reviews, it is mentioned that the spirit of intrigue and gossip reigns in offices. Therefore, not every employee takes root in a new place.
Sometimes the comments voiced dissatisfaction with the complexity of promoting ideas. It can be very difficult for proactive employees to convince management of the viability of an idea. And even in the case of its potential success, the authorities do not always agree to its promotion.
Complaints about equipment in offices often slip in reviews. First of all, employees complain about outdated monitors and system units. Despite the fact that they are much better than in many companies, according to the staff, the holding company engaged in Internet technologies could have a higher level of technology.
Some of the employees of Finam in their reviews refer to the large amounts of work as negative characteristics of the company. They write that they don’t even have time to have lunch and from the morning until the end of the day are completely immersed in an endless list of tasks.
In general, not a single employee of the company sees in his work any serious negative aspects. All the cons described are a subjective view of the holding and are not significant.
Customer reviews
For those who plan to cooperate with Finam, the comments of the holding's customers are extremely important.In them, they evaluate the activities of the company and its reliability as a partner. Of course, in such reviews both positive and negative aspects of cooperation are noted. Therefore, everyone should study the reviews posted on the Internet in order to make up their mind about the Finam holding.
If you consider the comments superficially, you can find out that the company in most cases is considered a good and reliable broker. Basically, the services of the holding are used by novice brokers, but often experienced specialists are happy to bid here.
Experienced Finam clients who have been working with him for at least ten years write in their reviews that before starting work with the holding one should know the nuances of this activity. Typically, newcomers approach the stock exchanges as something that in one hundred percent of cases will bring profit with a minimum of effort on their part. For such customers, Finam becomes a real disappointment. Therefore, you should be extremely careful and understand that in the first place the holding works for its profit and only in parallel helps others earn money.
Holding commissions often surprise its customers. However, the rules of cooperation with the company indicate the fact that the broker charges commissions for all his actions. This is a hallmark of such activities around the world.
About the work of managers on the Internet there are quite conflicting reviews. Some clients note the dedication of Finam employees, and in many cases, managers do not even forget to congratulate them on the holidays. However, one cannot fail to mention some problems with the staff, which significantly spoil the impression of the broker. For example, some clients complain that managers are not in place during a call or they themselves forget to call back at the right time. Thus, difficulties arise with closing the transaction.
Often reviews write about the technical side of cooperation with Finam. Her customers rate quite high. They note that during operation there are rarely failures, which other Russian and even foreign brokers sin. In addition, the holding regularly carries out updates and those customers who subscribe to them always find themselves in a better position than others. However, please note that all subscriptions are paid. This moment does not suit all Finam customers. In addition, they do not like the fact that company managers themselves regularly offer these or those subscriptions. This is perceived as the imposition of their services.
Some reviews show dissatisfaction with the cash withdrawal system. Often, withdrawal requests are canceled several times. Moreover, the client himself will know about it already upon cancellation, if he goes to the exchange. A similar situation can be repeated several times in a row until the broker writes off the next commission. This approach often causes fair outrage among customers.
To summarize
In any company, there are pros and cons, so it is quite difficult to unambiguously evaluate its activities. However, when we are discussing the Finam holding, positive characteristics predominate in reviews of it. They come from both company employees and its customers. Therefore, this holding can be fully recommended as a responsible employer and a reliable business partner.
