Reviews van ACT Commodities

Pluspunten

ACT Commodities is a young trading company, they have interesting profit sharing opportunities when you´re a sales trader, a great atmosphere amongst colleagues and a very nice office in Amsterdam. When you start working at ACT, you are given all the tools, and also training, to be successful at your job. In addition, you are guided and mentored by your manager.

Hammocks in the new office!

Pluspunten

Horizontal hierarchy, crazy amount of additional gifts, company events and trips. Young and informal company with a friendly atmosphere. Very ambitious and hard working staff and management. International orientation. Big bonus possibility for front office

Minpunten

Front office focused, work of the rest of the company tends to be overlooked. Fixed salaries below market.

Pluspunten

Happy hours and team events if we hit monthly targets. Can make a very good bonus - but most good markets/clients are already being managed by someone else.

Minpunten

High pressure sales job with a lot of cold calling. Call stats are tracked. Little career and skills development as the job scope is limited and narrow.

Advies aan management

Distribute clients fairly among all employees rather than having one trader manage all of the big accounts.

Pluspunten

ACT Commodities provides an open and inclusive environment. Each employee has a direct impact on the company. The team is ambitious, collaborative and most importantly fun. ACT is growing rapidly, which allows its employees to continue to develop on both a professional and personal level.

Minpunten

No cons at this time.

Pluspunten

• Properly aligned to grow within the environment commodities space. • Active participation of Senior management and Traders in daily activities. • Solid base salary and generous bonus structure. • Structured so that the employee determines the growth of their own business, but with the backing and experience of a larger firm. • Established flat organization.

Minpunten

Nothing critical to mention.

Keep going.

Pluspunten

ACT continues to grow and add talent to its team of Sales-Traders who pride themselves on being competitive, hard working, and versatile. The firm interacts within exciting markets that will continue to grow rapidly in the coming years. All employees are well versed in the intricacies and culture of the client base and markets. The move to New York City will grow the firm in size and scope and should provide key access...

Minpunten

No negatives to mention as of now. Hours can be substantial and similar to Investment Banking due to the high focus on relationship building and deal flow.
