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

* Intersection of Logistics and Technology * Great leadership and a supportive board * Passionate People * Intellectually curious and hyper-focused * Freedom to adapt process * Smart people from all backgrounds, because we don’t know the answer

Cons

Some are so career hungry it can become selfish. People Ops is young and is terrible with career negotiations. Commercial Ops is slow and cannot figure out bonus structures and incentives until it's 2 months late

Thanks for taking the time to share your honest feedback. As you mentioned, we are excited to be at the intersection of logistics and technology. Our mission is to make global trade easy for everyone and we do that by bringing together advanced technology, shipping infrastructure and human expertise. We've experienced incredible growth and anticipate to only further grow this year and beyond. That said, growing quickly doesn't come without it's own set of challenges. One of our biggest priorities is building out the leadership, expertise and infrastructure to support our current and future employees. And we agree, we want to recognize and empower our employees to do great work. We are currently going through our semi-annual performance feedback cycle. This is our way of ensuring that all team members have an opportunity to receive and provide feedback, including recognition and development opportunities awarded. We also just launched our new learning and development initiatives to help further invest in our employee's continued growth and education. Thank you again for your feedback!
