Pros

- Fast, high growth company. - Awesome people. When you work hard and still want to hang out with your colleagues, that's a pretty special place. - Fantastic future opportunity. Employees from top to bottom are immersed in the industry and are constantly thinking about how we can drive this to the promised land.

Cons

- Hours. Sometimes you'll work late. Compared to a lot of places, it's not that bad though. Personally, the hours are driven by things that aren't directly really in my position; you seen an opportunity, you reach out to take advantage of it, and then you're taking more onto your plate. I think that's true of a lot of others as well.

Pros

- Leadership and management is A+. I'm consistently impressed with how they approach business and have complete trust in the future of our company. - Culture. Everyone here is super smart, hard working, and a lot of fun to be around. - Career opportunities. We just had like 20 or something internal promotions this month. Chance of a lifetime to skyrocket your career. A ridiculous amount of autonomy. - Challenging work. Global trade is super fascinating. - Product is great. Our engineers are top notch. - You get to help people. Flexport is solving a major pain point. Client satisfaction is our number one KPI. - Free lunch and Hi-ball. Hi-ball is the best.

Cons

- Long hours. This is a tech startup and we are reinventing a complex industry - which involves a lot of hard work.

Pros

I've never met such smart, fun people in my life. Getting to work with them everyday is a joy. And then to work on projects that are truly meaningful, that actually help our customers, and have a positive impact on the world. The path to growing 10 or 100x from here is very clear, which is rare for a company at our stage (~175 employees). We all know that we just have to keep executing and we'll win. Minimal hierarchy and almost no functional silos, which is by design in the org structure. Management lets even relatively junior employees call their own shots, and our teams are all cross-functional, so communication and teamwork are strong. Customers thank us almost every single day.

Cons

Long hours, especially in ops Logistics is hard, we're constantly trouble shooting
