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

Office perks (snacks, catered lunch, nice desks) of being a VC-backed startup

Cons

I would recommend Flexport if you want a future in logistics or supply chain, not if you want to be in tech. As a non-technical employee, I joined Flexport thinking I would be surrounded by great tech and innovative people, but my office felt more like a call center. Overall the company felt very siloed with very little to no interaction across teams. I think my manager even said to me "you don’t need to know what other people are doing to be good at your job.” For some people they may be content with this, it was not that difficult to do well, but I didn’t feel significantly challenged in my role.

Thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your time at Flexport. Many of us are excited by how we’re disrupting freight forwarding and with that, global trade. It’s unfortunate you didn’t experience that in your role. In 2020 we are implementing new initiatives to support our managers, including external coaches and training that will help our managers be more effective at Flexport.
