Pros

Good company, nice benefits, nice people, positive outlook, growing. Market leader in ETF market-making. Good people from whom to learn. Good/excellent work-life balance.

Cons

Not much. As you would expect from a small-ish company, turnover is relatively high and there is constant change, which can sometimes be stressful. Some uncertainty. Processes not so well established if you're into that.

Pros

I've been working at Flow Traders for the past year and a half. Flow gives you a ton of responsibility from day 1. The whole company is very close and the culture is very entrepreneurial. I've spent time in both the Amsterdam and New York offices and both have great perks such as a lounge with video games and Foosball table, company outings and trips, and health benefits. The structure is super flat and management is incredibly approachable about anything. Flow also really values maintaining a work-life balance

Cons

Sometimes the responsibility can be overwhelming and you might find yourself pushed to the limit.
