Mesosphere or Flexport?

Assume same comp, waiting for final offer from both. Looking for opinions on company

Uber sjxY32 Feb 18, 2017

I like the idea of flexport. But don't know how they are executing.

VMware UMWv70 Feb 18, 2017

How big is flexports engineering team?

Uber yHem10 Feb 18, 2017

Also wanna know!

Uber Spartacus1 Feb 18, 2017

What are the offers like

Facebook HankHill Feb 18, 2017

I have a friend who says it's not competitive to Google

Yelp baminacan Feb 18, 2017

mesos will be dead or purchased in the next 5y, maybe sooner. kube is eating its lunch. not too familiar with flexport but i would be careful re: mesosphere

+1 k8s is crushing it.

Microsoft Pancakes Feb 19, 2017

Not really. It's hard to do even the simplest things with k8s. Classic Google approach. Most companies do not have the resources to train people like that. DC/OS and Docker swarm are pretty much complete packages. I think mesosphere will be acquired soon, may be by msft

Neither? I guarantee Flexport's "technology" is a bunch of new grads behind the scenes manually filling customs forms for 80hrs/week

Flexport founder is awesome and very driven. But it is not solving scale problems. It is digitizing manual workflows. They are in a very slow moving highly regulated oligopoly driven industry and hence it will take them a long time to execute.

How big is flexport (total, engg)? what's their offer like?
