Pros

The business model is exciting, however the culture sucks.

Cons

I interviewed with Flexport for the senior product designer role this September, the process moved really fast (like 2-3 weeks). However, they brought me to a take-home design challenge, I was super surprised for company still doing this, which is a big time investment. I did that and went to the virtual onsite interview. Everyone spoke highly of my projects and the design challenge, and they said they are really impressed by the way I'm tackling problems. However I received the rejection the next day without any reason. I doubt they are doing design challenge only for free ideas!!!! Please don't waste your time for this company.

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.
