Pros

-Open culture -Good benefits and fun corporate events -Good HR -Friendly and modest Management Board (they ride bikes instead of driving Maserati and Porsche)

Cons

-Technological confusion -Non-standardized processes (built by people's idea, not best practices) -Lack of teamwork spirit (Of course it depends on the team) -People are equal but some people are more equal than others (New joiners are less equal)! -Managerial promotions are mostly based on technical/professional skills without considering and examining the personal skills and capabilities.

Striving for Excellence

Pros

Working at Flow Traders has been a great experience! It has a forward thinking culture with the type of environment that encourages everyone's opinions and rewards hard work. The New York office is small, which enables you to have a lot of ownership and responsibility. The office often feels like one big family full of focused people striving for excellence, but at the same time very down to earth. The benefits/perks are the some of the best in the industry and management puts a lot of time into accommodating to all employee's needs.

Cons

I can't think of any serious cons to working here. It is important to understand that Flow Traders is a small firm that at times can feel like a "startup". That said, some resources that you may be used to at a big firm do not exist here. Teams are smaller, so sometimes you need to be more dynamic.

Pros

Collaborative, fun work environment, always have a chance to voice your opinions and contribute directly to growth, becoming a more established company in the industry externally. Particularly during COVID, the company has shown that they really care about us with nice WFH setups, care packages and weekly MB updates. Even while working from home, everyone is reachable and it seems business as usual but with more solidarity than ever.

Cons

Communication from HQ doesn't always trickle down to other offices, lower base salary than some competitors - more variable comp
