Business Outlook

Pros

Great People: I have never worked with a smarter or more friendly group of people. It leads to a great working environment where I feel comfortable leaving before 6 every day and WFH as needed Great Product/Vision: It's one thing to have a successful company, but another to have a successful company that is also doing meaningful work. I'm happy the work we do has tangible benefits for people Interesting Work: We are modeling the world of global trade in software; A very hard and rewarding problem

Cons

Dog Friendly: Most people like dogs, and the ones we have are well trained, but I personally find them loud and obnoxious Possibly Too Fast growth: Flexport has grown from 100 to 400 in the past 12 months and I worry that growing too fast will lead to culture problems. We shall see

Ryan Petersen here. I hear you on the dogs thing. In our new office I'm thinking of creating a no dogs area. Will look into feasibility. I'm glad you point it out. And point about growing headcount too fast is for sure true. It's not 100 to 400, more like 150 to 350 worldwide (190 in SF) but still, culture is one of our biggest remaining risks, and one that never goes away. I want our people to be happy working here for the next 20 years even as we scale to be a massive global org. I spend half my time just working on this issue, and would love to hear any ideas folks have to keep it strong. Email me anytime as always!

The main problem is too much rapid success

Pros

The addressable market for Flexport is enormous. We have a prohibitive first mover advantage. Good ideas rise to the top: Management and Product continuously seek creative solutions from throughout the team, rather than imposing a top-down agenda. The people are brilliant, thoughtful, empirically-minded, open, and funny.

Cons

Over the past year our growth has sometimes outpaced our ability to recruit new hires. Shipment volume is way, way up, and this demands lots of time and effort from everyone, especially our Global Operations and Customs teams. We are hiring as fast as we can, but the new business curve is steep and hard to keep up with.

Pros

Flexport is going to be big. Not just big. HUGE. Knowing that I am a part of something so monumental is not just a source of price - it's a totally new feeling. I never felt so passionate about my work in any of my previous roles. Everyone here has that drive, and everyone is doing their part. The work is hard, the days can be long. But I love it. Brilliant people, energetic atmosphere, unlimited opportunities. I'm definitely gonna be here for a while!

Cons

The office gets really hot, really fast, really often. Keep that AC on all day!
