Pros

Great People: I have never worked with a smarter or more friendly group of people. It leads to a great working environment where I feel comfortable leaving before 6 every day and WFH as needed.

Great Product/Vision: It's one thing to have a successful company, but another to have a successful company that is also doing meaningful work. I'm happy the work we do has tangible benefits for people.

Interesting Work: We are modeling the world of global trade in software; a very hard and rewarding problem.

Cons

Dog Friendly: Most people like dogs, and the ones we have are well-trained, but I personally find them loud and obnoxious.

Possibly Too Fast Growth: Flexport has grown from 100 to 400 employees in the past 12 months, and I worry that growing too fast will lead to culture problems. We shall see.

Advice to Management

Keep up the benefits and flexible working arrangements.

Do not take our culture for granted: we have a great culture, so don't let hypergrowth and the pursuit of profits ruin it.
