Does retail brokerage companies like FXCM actually trade for themselves?

Please excuse me if I have just asked a stupid question because I'm a rookie in trading. What I know is that companies like FXCM provide online platforms for investors to trade for themselves, and also provide some products and market news. But do they trade for themselves or for other investors at all? I have an internship opportunity in FXCM in Hong Kong this summer, I can't make up my mind whether to take it or to expect other chances. If all about FXCM is the online platform thing then the internship would seem meaningless. Please shed me some light on this, thanks in advance.
