Pros

You genuinely work with some intelligent, thoughtful, and hardworking tech ICs. The pay to effort of work ratio is also in your favor. Some companies have low hanging fruit when it comes to building products and improving your tech stack. At Flexport, the fruit falls off the tree, rolls down hill, and is at your feet waiting to be picked up. Lot's of opportunity to optimize, improve, and build new products.

Cons

Industry headwinds with tariffs. Our technology isn't really differentiated. We aren't automating freight forwarding or providing automation advantage to our customers. No growth and lot's of costs.

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.
