Plenty of potential. Plenty of work to do.

Pros

The company is full of bright, hardworking individuals. It's in a space where it can honestly make a huge impact. I've seen more candid conversation on hard topics here in a few months than I've seen at other companies in a few years. For every challenge that the company faces, it tries to address in earnest.

Cons

Every team is spread too thin. Because of the extreme growth, there's a lack of infrastructure to support teams and enable to work effectively. This is true across the board. Work life balance is difficult and everyone you talk to will tell you they're under water.

Pros

1) People: Your coworkers are very driven, talented and interesting. They make you better just by being around them. Everyone is helpful and wants you to be successful. There are activities and events to give you opportunities to socialize with co workers. 2) Growth: You get to learn about an entirely new industry and will have a deeper understanding about how the world works. This industry is going through a transformation and you are getting in on the ground floor. If you love learning and are curious this is the place for you. 3) Work Life Balance: You actually get to use your unlimited vacation and not just for short trips but multi-week trips. I feel a little sorry for my co workers who have joined Flexport right out of school because it is going to be very hard to top this work experience.

Cons

Change: This is not a con as much as a warning. During the interview process you will hear that things change fast and you need to be okay with that. Really make sure that you are good with change because things change often. Variation In Experience: My experience has be awesome, but experience varies significantly between business units and offices. Transparency: This is continually getting better, but one area where it needs to improve is the comp plans for each sale market segment and managers. No visibility into how managers are compensated.

Pros

- Ideas for change and improvement often come from individual contributors as opposed to management - Switching teams is relatively easy - C levels are very approachable - Hiring bar is really high and other engineers come from successful backgrounds - Just hired a VP of Engineering that's going to change/fix a lot of the organizational issues and restructure the org

Cons

- Career advancement and review cycles are still being fully ironed out - The product has a ton of area as it's really wide and it gets progressively harder to understand everything
