Pros
- Bit above average benefits for the industry - Young, likeminded and diverse coworkers - Cool offices
Cons
- Flexport is very good at marketing itself but in the end it’s just a new freight forwarder (not a tech company) on the block with a fancy platform that especially customers and investors unfortunately value too much. The degree of internal digitization and automation is minimal, if any it’s only working on the customer facing end. The fact that it is believed that Flexport is truly disrupting the industry just shows the lack of knowledge about what’s happening outside the company. - Lack of fulfilling work: people who went to great universities doing data entry work. If you’re one of the lucky ones to move to a position with more responsibilities you’ll still be overqualified for what you’re doing. - Little training, development and actual meaningful growth possibilities. - Too much politics and favoritism.
