I am looking to implement a flexbox dropdown menu similar to this:

After researching online, I found a simple dropdown menu example. However, I want to customize it using flexbox and its properties. The issue I encountered is that the flexbox container does not adjust its height based on the dynamic number of elements in a column.
This is the outcome I achieved:

The code snippet can be viewed below:
* {
font-family: sans-serif;
}
@font-face {
font-family: Oxygen;
src: url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oxygen');
}
body{
margin: 0;
background-color: #cbcbcb;
}
nav {
position: relative;
background-color: #f8f8f8;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-color: black;
}
nav ul {
height: 50px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: flex-start;
margin: 0;
}
nav a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #777;
padding: 15px;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 18px;
}
nav a:hover {

}
.logo a {
font-size: 25px;
}
nav ul {
list-style: none;
