Pros

I worked with some of the best people at Flexport. There are a ton of young, driven, fun-loving folks. Additionally, if you work the system there are opportunities for horizontal mobility, but you have to get in with the right senior folks to advocate for you.

Cons

The exec team did a great job of getting Flexport to the scale that it's at today. Bringing on more people with experience taking a company from startup to IPO would make the company even stronger. If you can play the political game, you can go far at this company relatively quickly. I think that makes it harder for folks who are not as good at working the system, however.

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.
