Pros

After working a couple of months I can fairly say that the expectations of the employees are high, however not something that is not unachievable. This balances really good with the after work relaxing possibilities, especially on Friday. The company has a great introduction program for the new IT employees. This is very helpful in getting a good first impression of the company as a whole.

Cons

The company has grown fast and the knowledge is sometimes not well documented. Although information is available, often the knowledge needs to be retrieved via colleagues and therefore it is not always an efficient way of working.

Pros

Flow Traders takes care of their employees and creates a working environment in which innovative thinking and contributing to the company is stimulated. Together with the dynamic vibe this makes it a nice place to work.

Cons

If I really have to think about the less attractive parts of the job? Work /Live balance could be the only perk I could think of.

Pros

Company offers really nice perks: * gym; * lunches; * considerable bonuses; * any kind of snacks/drinks; * a divy bar with tapped beer or whisky if you prefer; * massage; * nutritionist consultation; * health checks. We even have our own boat (!) which anyone can take to explore Amsterdam canals. The company is really open to invest into our professional development. As a software engineer, I get the opportunity to go to different conferences and a have a separate budget for trainings/courses. I learn a lot from what I do day to day. The company tries to continuously improve and take into account employees feedback.

Cons

The job is hard as every task has many unknowns. Sometimes it is not clear what the management expects from you. The trading environment is very high passed and this is reflected in all the processes. There are a lot of security concerns (I guess for good reasons) and this impacts a bit the software development process.
