Pros

* Intersection of Logistics and Technology * Great leadership and a supportive board * Passionate People * Intellectually curious and hyper-focused * Freedom to adapt process * Smart people from all backgrounds, because we don’t know the answer

Cons

Some are so career hungry it can become selfish. People Ops is young and is terrible with career negotiations. Commercial Ops is slow and cannot figure out bonus structures and incentives until it's 2 months late

Thanks for taking the time to share your honest feedback. As you mentioned, we are excited to be at the intersection of logistics and technology. Our mission is to make global trade easy for everyone and we do that by bringing together advanced technology, shipping infrastructure and human expertise. We've experienced incredible growth and anticipate to only further grow this year and beyond. That said, growing quickly doesn't come without it's own set of challenges. One of our biggest priorities is building out the leadership, expertise and infrastructure to support our current and future employees. And we agree, we want to recognize and empower our employees to do great work. We are currently going through our semi-annual performance feedback cycle. This is our way of ensuring that all team members have an opportunity to receive and provide feedback, including recognition and development opportunities awarded. We also just launched our new learning and development initiatives to help further invest in our employee's continued growth and education. Thank you again for your feedback!

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.
