Sterling Trading Tech Reviews

Awful culture, work late and kiss up if you want to get ahead.

Management within the company is short-sighted. Decisions are made without input of employees. Products are released that are not even close to being market-ready. PTS is way too top heavy for how small of a company Sterling is. There is no opportunity to make more money or advance within the organization. Some of the management is unprofessional as far as their interaction with both clients and employees. Management does not delegate any work to employees. No compensation for assisting sales team with a large portion of their work. PTS seems to hire based on cronyism and not on knowledge or skills. Pay is very low for the industry. Raises and bonuses are not communicated with employees in a timely manner. Often a roast or bonus will be announced for a quarter and paid 3 months later with no explanation or insight. The platform itself relies on a niche market of traders that are mostly based in China. As the SEC and Finra tighten rules, Sterling will continue to become less feasible from a business standpoint. Benefits are expensive with poor coverage. 401k options are limited with very low matching.
