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!

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.
