Pros

Immediate coworkers are great and you receive your salary in time.

Cons

The company is a mess. Toxic workplace due to egoistic and manipulating management as others have already mentioned. Top level ignores the reality, suggestions for improvement and refuses to hire a HR manager, despite the high turnover. Reckless growth strategy and no freedom or empowerment to own your portfolio. Don't believe the start-up culture they are trying to sell, save your mental health.

Pros

There were a couple of fun colleagues

Cons

The fact that there was a coordinated push to try to improve the reviews on the 30th of January is a big red flag in and of itself. Creating false coordinated reviews in order to try to hide and brush off valid criticism shows quite a lot about the culture of the company. The company lacks the ability to execute on the technical front due to significant and continuous changes in the tech department. The product exhibits a significant number of functional defects and lacks a clear purpose. The managers appear to lack a cohesive vision for the company and instead of safeguarding their team members, engage in passive-aggressive micromanagement and intimidation tactics. As a result, numerous colleagues suffered from burnout and were subjected to mistreatment. The work environment is toxic, which shows in the high level of employee turnover. The employees are under considerable stress without meaningful direction or support in all departments. In light of these circumstances, I strongly advise individuals to avoid association with this company.

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback! We are truly sorry that you had such a negative experience while working at Flowbox, we will definitely take it into consideration and address the problem. If you would like to share more information or have some questions answered, please don't hesitate to reach out to the HR based in Stockholm. Regarding the comment about reviews: at the end of January we asked all employees to voluntarily leave their objective reviews at Glassdoor and some of them did (some didn't). Under no circumstances we would ask employees to deliberately leave good reviews, though we understand it might look like that.

Pros

The people who do not hold a managerial title are great.

Cons

The company culture is very unhealthy and they will pay you as little as they can get away with. Management micro-manages, ramps up the pressure, doesn't want to listen to improvement suggestions and will try to get rid of anyone who dares to try and speak up to get them to listen.
