I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Flow Traders (New York, NY) in Aug 2014
Interview
I applied online and heard back within 2 days for an prerecorded video interview. I got caught off guard from only preparing for top 5 fit questions: resume, why prop, strength/weaknesses, why flow, etc. It was still standard prop trading fit questions, but I wasn't ready for it. Just be prepared for all the questions and you're good. It is timed so make sure you practice enough their online recording before attempting the real thing.

I passed the online mental math test, then got eliminated in the second round which was an online interview with HR, where I was asked to play a market-making game in which I had no previous experience. Although it is a junior position, you are still expected to have plenty of technical knowledge.
