Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and provide some open feedback for us. As the NY office continues to grow we also recognize the importance of a more structured approach to training and development for new hires within the firm. It is always beneficial for our employees to have a strong understanding of our business and the way various teams collaborate with each other on a daily basis. Building on a program originated in our Amsterdam HQ, we will be focusing on rolling out "Flow Academy" within the local offices in 2018. In addition to the core onboarding courses, more in-depth learning for specific business functions will be hosted by subject matter experts within the program. If you have any other suggestions or insight into what you or your colleagues are interested in learning, feel free to stop by the HR office or share with your manager.

Bad lower management

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Courses and conferences for professional development, free lunch, in-house gym with personal trainers, massage

Cons

There is a friction between development and trading on one side, management on the other. Newly formed lower product management is trying to establish themselves, worried about their own position, not caring about the well being of their team or the product. A lot form, less content. Software engineers are considered an expense, while traders take credit for the profit. Noisy office.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. Your feedback is important to us. From your review, I see there are opportunities for us to work with our product managers and product owners about our approaches as a Technology department. I appreciate your willingness to be open and I am available to discuss any additional insight you’d like to share to ensure collaboration throughout our organization is productive and effective. I can only encourage people to raise their ideas and/or concerns in time and not only share them here. We are always trying to improve, so any sort of constructive criticism is welcome! Best regards, Thomas, Global Head of Technology
