While in training at the company's headquarters in Amsterdam, I have received detailed instruction in the methodology and approach of the company, from a global perspective down to all the little details and differences from desk to desk and product to product. We practice on and familiarize ourselves with the company's high-quality in-house software and learn directly from experienced traders to prepare us for entry into the stock market. On top of classes and assignments, new hires are also encouraged to develop, back-test, and implement new trading strategies, not only as a useful exercise but really with the goal of identifying new potential revenue streams for the company. As a relatively young firm in the company, there is a very entrepreneurial climate and, despite the extremely flat corporate structure, this allows new hires to quickly take on a great deal of responsibility.

Pros and cons of working at Flow Traders

Pros

  • Freedom to to come up with ideas and run with it

  • Very good learning experience, great company culture and atmosphere making it easy and fun to work.

  • Highly challenging but highly rewarding work environment where the company pushes collaboration over cut-throat competition. Great benefits, surprisingly nice work-life balance, and top class coworkers in all departments.

  • Great people to work with, all very smart people. We get to learn/do new stuff every day because you need to constantly adapt to and make money from changing market circumstances. The company also takes really good care of its employees e.g: Junior Traders have a training program for 6 months in Amsterdam and everything is taken care of even before you arrive.

  • Everyday is a challenge, you get to work with smart individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Cons

    • Company's work culture skewed to a more laid back approach in an industry where suits, business cards, and flawless professionalism are standard; very comfortable at times, not so much at others.

    • Trading certainly isn't for everyone; it takes a certain skill-set and attitude. However, if you are interested in the profession, you can't find a better place to work.

    • There is no free lunch on Fridays - though, there is free breakfast and lunch all other days.

    • You are not the only smart guy in company.

    • No lunch on Fridays
