Pros

The addressable market for Flexport is enormous. We have a prohibitive first mover advantage. Good ideas rise to the top: Management and Product continuously seek creative solutions from throughout the team, rather than imposing a top-down agenda. The people are brilliant, thoughtful, empirically-minded, open, and funny.

Cons

Over the past year our growth has sometimes outpaced our ability to recruit new hires. Shipment volume is way, way up, and this demands lots of time and effort from everyone, especially our Global Operations and Customs teams. We are hiring as fast as we can, but the new business curve is steep and hard to keep up with.

Pros

Lots of really smart and nice people at the company. The culture has improved a lot recently. There's a good amount of room to develop and jump on things that you might not be exposed to in other companies.

Cons

The company moves a little too fast at times and maybe overlooks things that are working well and don't necessarily need to be changed for "efficiency" at the risk of doing things incorrectly. It can be hard to move up in some departments. work/life balance varies a lot by team.
