Pros

People are incredible smart, fun and hardworking. I love the Flexport culture and the type of people attracted to this unique business in the tech world. As a services company with real-world implications, this isn't a flashy app or an easily scalable product, and that complexity is what makes working here so fun. You will learn a ton, take on as much as you have capacity and initiative for, and you will have opportunities to help define your own role due to the high growth environment. The daily mindset of building structure into your job as you do it, and often having to do things for the first time, is a challenge worth chasing.

Cons

Because the company is growing very fast and everyone (even senior leaders) is working at a level above their experience and knowledge base, its difficult to get correct answers and input. Half the company is new in the past year and is trying to still figure out their own jobs. But this comes with the territory of joining a unicorn rocketship, and it allows for a lot of opportunity to lead initiatives as a junior employee with domain knowledge.

Thank you for the feedback, and you’re spot on -- the real-world implications of what we’re working on are very rewarding, and there is so much more that we’re excited to do.

Pros

The compensation was strong and competitive, and it was consistently the best part of the job. If your priority is pay in the near term, that piece delivered.

Cons

I struggled with the lack of stability. It rarely felt like the ground was solid, and that uncertainty was hard to sit with over time. Return-to-office expectations seemed to change more than once, and I personally didn't find the reasoning behind those shifts clear. It was hard to plan around. I also found the performance review process difficult to trust. In my experience the outcomes didn't always seem to line up with the actual work, which made it hard to feel like I knew where I stood or how to grow. There was A LOT of turnover in leadership during my time there. With direction changing frequently, it often felt like priorities were in flux, which made it next to impossible to stay oriented.
