Pros
At Flexport we have undertaken the unbelievable challenge of improving the user experience when it comes to global trade, this alone is a massive PRO. The nuances, complexities, and varying levels of demand on everyone's time makes for whatever role at Flexport to be moving at lightspeed. The exposure and opportunities for impact on teams both near and far are unprecedented in these industries, logistics & tech!
Cons
The job is demanding, the problems are real and impact global commerce on a wide spectrum. There is a lot of pressure to execute and exceed client expectations, and this in itself can create a challenging opportunity for someone not necessarily prepared for the challenge. We do a lot to tackle these challenges head-on with a 2 week onboarding program at our home offices followed by a refresher program that is followed for the next 4-6 weeks based on office. We are humble in knowing that this program/process is a work in progress and one that needs constant fedback and development.
