Horrible culture masked by decent perks

Pros

Standard benefits and perks compared to other tech companies. Smart people.

Cons

- Underperforms internal business goals and overestimates head count requirements - Management appears to be uninvolved and disinterested. Legacy of “bro culture” remains - Each department feels like its own organization and bureaucracy is rapidly developing

Pros

International trade - inside and outside of Flexport - is a sincerely interesting space for anyone who likes geography or political factoids or the crazy mash-up of cross-cultural collaboration and deal making. Flexport just makes it more interesting because it's a stellar team of hard working, smart people who see obstacles and complexity and just another thing that makes their jobs interesting. The team is empowered to be great and find great solutions to our clients' problems and people take that power seriously. Diverse, international use of our product challenges design, implementation. The company is growing and changing really fast, which is constantly creating opportunities for growth (and a few moments of holy-cow-how-will-we-pull-this-off anxiety). Plus perks, by that I mean snacks. The office isn't at the airport in any city and the public transit / bike access makes commutes easy (studies show, one of the biggest influencers on overall life happiness!). The health benefits are amazing. Our slack custom emojis are second-to-none.

Cons

Our offices go through cycles of being totally baller, how-did-we-deserve-this-space, to ordinary offices, to nasty, excessively crowded spaces with bathroom lines and conference room-related micro-aggressions. The workspace team does their best, but having a great office location means they don't have tons to work with. Noise cancelling headphones are a must and should be included as new-hire on-boarding bonus. Still lacking women in (visible) leadership. Combine logistics + tech and you have a very male cohort up and down the org. Work-life balance, although not as bad as it was in the early days, is still a struggle in many roles.

"Love the empowerment but would like more focus and fewer distractions. Not every market can or should be attacked at the same time." I agree - Ryan Petersen, CEO
