I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Flow Traders (Singapore)
Interview
It started with a video interview with basic competency questions. Why Flow Traders? What is arbitrage? etc.
Then there was an intelligence test, with shapes and number sequences. This wasn't that bad.
After that, there was an HR interview which was fairly challenging. Competency based, but a few technical questions and a bit of mental maths thrown in. Make sure you know why you want to do arbitrage and be ready to answer, questions about your attitude towards winning and losing, which they seem to be obsessed about.
Then there was an interview with HR and a trader. Similar questions, but a little more technical. I was asked if I knew what they did, and I said mainly market making in ETPs,but apparently all they want to know about is your understanding of arbitrage.
I didn't proceed to the next stage, and the only received very limited feedback, which was rather annoying since I spent a fair bit of time on the process. Neutral experience overall.

Question 1
I had a phone interview with HR, and the questions went from being competency based, to quick mental maths on the phone very quickly.
First was a mental maths test of roughly same level as Optiver 80 in 8. Then had a 1-1 interview with HR, did not pass as had not researched company well enough.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Flow Traders (Amsterdam)
Interview
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.

Question 1
Do you know any ETFs? How are they priced? Do you know the current market price of the ETF you mentioned? Let's play a market-making game with that ETF
First round - math test, second round with HR on behavior questions, then with trader and HOT on more technical questions, do not expect deep knowledge on ETF. In general, it was not in a very harsh environment
