I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Flow Traders in Oct 2014
Interview
They hold on campus info session first. Then I had a on campus interview. First 30 mins, I was asked to do a mental math assessment. No pens or calculators allowed. Then several basic questions: what is arbitrary? Why trading? Why you? What might be a potential difficulty to become a trader? What do you think yourself as a good trader.
Then after 1 week, video IQ assessment with PiCompany exam. I took a hour to finish.
Have not received reply yet ever since then.

Question 1
What might be a potential difficulty to become a trader?
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.

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
