Pros

Flexport has a great vibe. The team doesn't take itself too seriously. But at the same time, we are well aware how important our work is, and how good we are at it. We have the wonderful opportunity to work at the intersection of global trade and information technology, two of the greatest forces for good the world has ever seen. We don't take this responsibility lightly, and we're well aware how hard it is to simplify such complex processes. The company pays well and offers really excellent health benefits, lunch daily, and an all-around laid back work atmosphere The fridge is well-stocked and people frequently share a beer as we wrap up the day's work. We frequently host our customers for happy hours, product demos, lunches, etc. It's nice being able to meet the people you're helping and play with the products that we helped get delivered. It's easily the smartest group of people I've ever worked work. Such a pleasure compared to previous logistics jobs I've had where most people hadn't finished college.

Cons

1/ San Francisco is expensive 2/ Logistics never stops. People work long hours for our customers.

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.
