Pros
I've been at Flexport for a long time, and here is why I stay: True Globalization: I sit in our NYC office, but on any given Wednesday, I’m problem-solving with colleagues in Amsterdam, Shenzhen, Toronto, and Ho Chi Minh. The world feels small here. Mobility: I’m not stuck in one box. I’ve transferred internally multiple times, and the company prefers to promote/move current employees rather than just hiring externally. Leadership: They invest in us. From the annual leadership summits to prioritizing internal candidates for management, the pathway is clear. Feedback: You know those employee surveys most companies ignore? Flexport actually uses them to make changes.
Cons
Like many pre-IPO tech giants, the equity is great on paper, but liquidity is low right now. I’m betting on our growth to turn that "paper wealth" into real cash sooner rather than later.
