Pros

You genuinely work with some intelligent, thoughtful, and hardworking tech ICs. The pay to effort of work 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 hill, and is at your feet waiting to be picked up. Lot's of opportunity to optimize, improve, and build new products.

Cons

Industry headwinds with tariffs. Our technology isn't really differentiated. We aren't automating freight forwarding or providing automation advantage to our customers. No growth and lot's of costs.

Advice to Management

Hire a visionary who knows how to work with tech as CEO or we will be disrupted.
