Flow Traders

• Freedom to own pieces of work as they are listed.
• Trickledown benefits from Traders (holidays, food in the office, holiday parties).

• Responsibility for project success is placed on developers, despite very limited input on priorities or timelines.
• The voice of developers is often ignored.
• Traders are always put first; everyone else's needs and opinions come last.
• Promotion is based on who speaks the loudest, not who is best suited for the job.
• It's a very male-dominated environment.
• There is an outdated management style.
• Quantity of what is delivered is more important than quality.

Listen to the experts in their domain, outside of trading, and account for what is said in business plans. Stop jumping between the buzzwords and focus on building out scalable infrastructure, which can be used as a backbone for potentially very powerful trading systems.
