Pros

The mission and vision are great !

Cons

I had joined flexport reading great reviews at Glassdoor as well hearing management including top executives are very receptive, open minded about getting honest employee feedback to build the culture . But my experience was totally contradictory. I had to leave the company my manager who recently joined Flexport seemed to join with the mindset all previous work had to be fixed and she did not take time to build rapport with the current team instead she replaced her current team members including me with her past acquaintances. In the name of cost cutting one employee was being replaced by multiple new hires at higher salaries. Hiring was done purely based on past acquaintance, no proper job postings, job descriptions and interview was being secretive done outside at coffee shops.My manager or upper management was not able to justify my lay-off though they said performance yet no feedback was ever provided or no performance ratings ever reflected that . This definitely discouraged me and seemed quite unjustified as I had spent long hours away from family to deliver the results and meet deadlines.

Pros

The compensation was strong and competitive, and it was consistently the best part of the job. If your priority is pay in the near term, that piece delivered.

Cons

I struggled with the lack of stability. It rarely felt like the ground was solid, and that uncertainty was hard to sit with over time. Return-to-office expectations seemed to change more than once, and I personally didn't find the reasoning behind those shifts clear. It was hard to plan around. I also found the performance review process difficult to trust. In my experience the outcomes didn't always seem to line up with the actual work, which made it hard to feel like I knew where I stood or how to grow. There was A LOT of turnover in leadership during my time there. With direction changing frequently, it often felt like priorities were in flux, which made it next to impossible to stay oriented.
