Solid Tech Team; Subpar Leadership
You genuinely work with some intelligent, thoughtful, and hardworking tech ICs. The pay-to-effort 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 the hill, and is at your feet waiting to be picked up.
Lots of opportunity to optimize, improve, and build new products.
Industry headwinds with tariffs.
Our technology isn't really differentiated.
We aren't automating freight forwarding or providing an automation advantage to our customers.
No growth and lots of costs.
Hire a visionary who knows how to work with tech as CEO, or we will be disrupted.
