Freightos Reviews

Pros

Continuous improvement. Career path support. Various technologies. The best design skills. The best soft skills.

Cons

The company is a startup, and it's a challenge for it to go on

Pros

Good food to eat, great cleaner so nice

Cons

Not fun at all such a mess no clue what they are doing. Meeting after meetings after meeting managers always fighting with different departments

Advice to Management

Hire managers who know what there doing to teach managers who have made everything a mess

Pros

Kind of a bummer to see how a few disgruntled ex-employees are digging Freightos through the first here. Of course, there are issues, but the below is anything but fair and balanced. Freightos doesn't do the Kool-Aid bean-bag chair startup scene; it's trying to fix a real big problem that spans across a huge industry. The audacious approach is a double-edged sword which really pulls attention across a whole suite... of solutions. And it's hard. But it's also one of the coolest parts of working at freight. Within the logistics sector, it's one of the most popular tech companies, and while it feels slow (I've been here for multiple years), usage across most verticals is up. The big take a long time to fall but Freightos has a big vision and funding to execute. - Can-do mentality that constantly seeks new challenges - People are nice. Seriously, nice. It's fun. - Clean offices, decent food plans, and light - Ability to move forward pretty rapidly (of course, depending on team) - Competitive salaries - Transparency with employees used to be a thing; the exec team made a big push to try to resolve it.

Cons

- Focusing on a huge product ecosystem is a double-edged that sometimes feel taxing - R&D feels like it happens a little slow. - Office is way too cold most of the time

Advice to Management

Talk as much as possible to the employees. When you share why we're doing things, we get so much more into it. Also, don't be afraid to spend serious money on bringing in the SERIOUS talent.

Pros

Freightos is made up of a great international team of talented and motivated (and nice!) people who are working on a really hard and complex mission - i.e. to modernize the Freight industry. They launched an ambitious product/market offering which seemed like a pipe-dream a couple of years ago, but is actually working and creating value for a growing base of customers. At the Jerusalem office there sometimes is... the usual inter-team politics that you may find in any start-up, but in general there is a good environment in the office.... (and great fundays approximately twice a year). Management sets high targets and expectations are often hard to achieve but that pushes the team to deliver some great results.

Cons

This is a growing start-up with some aggressive targets. This sometimes translates into pressure and demands for putting in extra time and effort outside of usual work hours.

Advice to Management

Stay focused on the goal, and be sure to invest in the professional growth or your biggest asset i.e. your people.

Pros

Still learn something new everyday. Huge potential. Great team. The challenge is HUGE and it's so exciting to have an impact. I am literally never bored.

Cons

Hard work. And lots of it. (but honestly it's pretty fun so can't complain)

Advice to Management

Keep the transparency and open communication up. This is really important and part of what makes Freightos great.

Pros

Well funded startup. Customers around the world. Opportunity to digitize a massive industry. Good management and investors. Interesting tech. Team is diverse and mostly professional pleasant people. Non-political.

Cons

People tend to work hard and many are online evening and weekends.

Pros

The Freightos Jerusalem office has amassed an incredible collection of family-first yet highly ambitious, smart people interested in getting the job done. That is, tackling the many challenges in building success upon success in what is effectively a technology layer within the international freight sector. The company is well-managed, has a strong culture of being data-driven, transparent, and there is plenty of... growth opportunity for those who are ready to put in the effort. The company has a fantastic brand and great traction.

Cons

The open office space makes it very difficult to concentrate, and there is a shortage of meeting rooms. Also, since this is a very flat organization based on "matrix" org style, it's sometimes difficult to decipher what exactly the work priorities should be on a given day (this could be a huge plus for self starters, but can also sometimes be frustrating).

Pros

Challenging industry to tackle Huge potential A couple of great people to work with

Cons

Bad management No strategic planning Politics

Advice to Management

Take action to fix management and try to focus.
