Flexport

Anyone have any thoughts on the potential upside of Flexport? I’m interested but unsure of culture, growth and viability. Tagging other logistics based companies 😘

I am curious about this too.

Got an offer and chatted with them earlier this month.

Can you share your experience? Did you enjoy speaking with them? Did you take the offer? Could you share the offer?

Google Eosng Apr 20, 2018

Pm me.

They’re going React Native for their mobile apps steer clear

What's wrong with this? It's one of the few positive things FB gets acknowledged for.

It’s good. Real good

What do you like about it?

Flexport Dakine Apr 21, 2018

The potential for upside is high. There are major culture problems. I think the culture problems are being addressed.

Facebook nahna Apr 21, 2018

What kind of culture problems?

Lyft daking Apr 21, 2018

Bro culture afaik

Flexport HRMc53 Apr 22, 2018

I really like it here. Upside is about as clear as can get — lots of market comparables who are old fogeys and product market fit is clear

Are you in Eng? How is the work life balance? How is management, the engineering team and culture?

Airbnb ✌️ OP Apr 22, 2018

Curious about your role as well 👍

Flexport DaWd26 Apr 22, 2018

I love it. Super strong business and growth, lots of product to build, lots of opportunity. And yet good work life balance (speaking for eng... ops can have it rough at peak). Its not broey at all IME. But male:female ratio in eng could be improved. Eng management all are former ICs except the new VPE.

Any worries about trade wars impacting company?

Flexport DaWd26 Apr 22, 2018

Only 2.6% of the commercial value of what we ship were affected. So far anyway

Insightful. Thank you.
