Pros

I have gotten the opportunity to work with some of the smartest people I've ever met, who are also mobilized to act to take care of and delight our customers in an industry that isn't doing that right now. We are a team that aims to be the best counterparty in every transaction - for customers of course, but also vendors, suppliers, investors, regulators and - most relevant to this site, employees. Flexport has shown over and over that they are the best place I could possibly be and they do that by offering a great place to work, massive growth potential, competitive salary and fringe benefits and the ability to do some of the best work in my career. Off the charts awesome place to work if you are top talent.

Cons

If you are not top talent, this is probably not the place for you, at least at this point. The people here are extremely smart, talented, hard working and customer focused. If that's not you, that's fine, but Flexport may be a difficult environment.

Pros

- Great work life balance -- There's plenty of work to do, but I've never felt the urgency of releasing anything because deadlines are understood across all parties and reasonable . - Plenty of growth opportunities -- By taking leadership opportunities, learning how to solve problems that you haven't faced before, or learning more about freight-forwarding. - A lot of autonomy -- There are many places in our product/platform that don't have concrete ownership, so there are opportunities to drive high-impact efforts if you are motivated to do so. - Many interesting technical problems all over the stack in the foreseeable future -- both in the infrastructure of the platform and on the features we build - I enjoy spending time w/ my co-workers. - Leadership is very mindful in regards to the pace of growth of the company -- Ensuring we don't outgrow ourselves, preventing quality of service loss and protecting our work life balance.

Cons

All the downsides I've seen come from growing pains of a company that has seen continuous tremendous people/financial growth. - Tech hasn't grown as quickly as product so we're kind of lagging there. We haven't fine tuned our environment to be as efficient as possible. There are a lot of efforts in improving dev productivity and stability of our product, but there's a whole lot more that needs to be done in that regard. - Young mid-level leadership -- Though we have a more seasoned C-level leadership team, mid-management experience might soon be overshadowed by the size of the team. Technical leadership faced a similar problem, and seems to now be taking more corrective action. As a result, we leaned on quantity over quality of tech work, but we should definitely think about doubling down on the foundations that we're building this product on at this stage of growth.
