Pros
1) People: Your coworkers are very driven, talented and interesting. They make you better just by being around them. Everyone is helpful and wants you to be successful. There are activities and events to give you opportunities to socialize with co workers. 2) Growth: You get to learn about an entirely new industry and will have a deeper understanding about how the world works. This industry is going through a transformation and you are getting in on the ground floor. If you love learning and are curious this is the place for you. 3) Work Life Balance: You actually get to use your unlimited vacation and not just for short trips but multi-week trips. I feel a little sorry for my co workers who have joined Flexport right out of school because it is going to be very hard to top this work experience.
Cons
Change: This is not a con as much as a warning. During the interview process you will hear that things change fast and you need to be okay with that. Really make sure that you are good with change because things change often. Variation In Experience: My experience has be awesome, but experience varies significantly between business units and offices. Transparency: This is continually getting better, but one area where it needs to improve is the comp plans for each sale market segment and managers. No visibility into how managers are compensated.
