Pros: Good work/life balance, interesting and challenging projects, very good colleagues, table tennis, cool company trips and events, football, Pac-Man. I have a lot of good memories about Flow. This is for sure one of the best companies I have worked for.

Cons: Some may not like open space areas. It can be cold in some places of the office.

Pros: Interesting industry things to learn.

Cons: Become more and more toxic.

Pros: Technically competent peers in the dev team. The core trading business is interesting.

Cons: Face Time Over Output: Management places an unhealthy emphasis on physical presence in the office (especially Joshua's team), equating long hours and visibility with productivity and dedication, regardless of actual output or efficiency. Toxic Management Culture: There's a concerning pattern of bullying behavior from certain members of management. This manifests as public criticism, dismissiveness, unreasonable demands, and creating a climate of fear rather than psychological safety. Speaking up feels risky. Management Chaos: There's a distinct lack of clear direction, consistent processes, or coherent strategy from the software dev management layer. Priorities shift constantly with poor communication, decision-making is opaque, and accountability seems non-existent. It feels reactive and disorganized. Impact: This combination creates a deeply demoralizing and stressful environment. It stifles innovation, damages morale, leads to burnout, and drives good talent away. Focus is diverted from building great software to navigating internal politics and appeasing management whims.
