Pros
Flexport is an emerging leader in a space that has traditionally been led by companies with 100+ years of experience. It has seen an immense amount of growth in the last few years and is currently in a hyper growth stage. I joined this company to be apart of something big. There is opportunity to craft and develop the processes that will guide Flexport in 2, 5, and 10 years from now. Teams are still small enough to make a large amount of impact while also being stable enough that you're not having to do the work for 3+ folks. Other pros: - Work flexibility (wfh when you need too) - The people working here are truly inspirational and amazing. The value of working with folks bought into the same idea as you is very underrated - Dog friendly! Frustrating day? Pet a dog! - Solve problems that effect an entire global industry - Healthy lunches and snacks (although the peanut m&ms kill me in the best way) - Employee resource groups that the company actually supports - Diversity is not perfect here but they aren't afraid to admit their failings and openly discuss the strategy to fix the black hole of the problem - Inclusion is another work in progress and while I see a lot of failings, I also see a lot of drive at all levels to fix - Overall has great benefits
Cons
Being in a hyper growth stage means that things don't scale at the rate they need too. This is a growth pain all growing companies experience. No time off at the Holidays which is an industry standard in tech In my experience, this isn't the place to join if you want to be best friends with your team. My team is fairly silo'd and is not all that interested in building deeper relationships. Its okay for me, just an adjustment. Wish we would eat lunch together once in awhile!
