Pros

We got the usual startup perks! (except unlimited PTO, they took that away)

Cons

The dream is a fully automated freight brokerage. That's what is sold. The reality is that on one floor of the office there are two or three people working on the automation part, as far as I know. On the other floor, the Operations org functions as a good old fashioned call center, doing the real work of booking loads while PR-savvy VCs get puff pieces written about the company in Forbes based on the implied promise that most of its employees don't actually exist.

Pros

great people and the product isn't that bad just no market for it really.

Cons

management didn't have a playbook and lack of experience caused issues for their employees. Management also was very unclear.
