Pros
They will make you feel like you matter… but you don’t

No direction, CEO is an egotistical jerk
Pros
One of the standout aspects of working here is the team. I truly enjoy talking with every person that's a part of this company and find that they carry such passion for the business and the impact we have. The leadership team is forward-thinking, and always open to new, well-thought-out ideas. There's a strong sense of empowerment within the team, and you truly feel like your contributions make a difference. Surprisingly, the work-life balance is pretty good for a startup-stage company - there are definitely times where we have to push harder than normal, but these are balanced with camaraderie and support from everyone, from the top to the bottom. We also have quarterly virtual team games/happy-hours, in addition to meeting up at the office a couple times a year. The team's culture encourages growth, collaboration, and open communication. No company is without its momentary issues, and these are regularly surveyed and addressed, providing opportunity for deeper understanding of why decisions are made. Overall, GPX Intelligence is a fantastic place to grow if you’re passionate about keeping the world's supply chain moving and being part of a team that is truly making an impact and on the leading edge of technology. I’m excited to see where the company is headed and feel lucky to be part of the journey!

While the company is growing quickly, this can sometimes mean tight deadlines and a lot of multitasking/wearing multiple hats. It’s exciting and great exposure to functions of the business that you might not otherwise get at a big company, but it’s not for everyone if you prefer a slower-paced work environment. Despite this, I'd still say it has better work/life balance, compared to other start-ups that churn & burn talent. Benefits are strong, but do lack a 401K plan. Leadership is looking into this, though.
Pros
I've been in sales for over 20 years. This company from the top down cares for its employees. Yes they care about sales and about money, but we are all about "reasonable and responsible growth". The leadership does a better job of listening to the employees that I've ever seen with any other company, with bi-weekly anonymous surveys to check the pulse of the company to see if people feel valued, listened to, and if they feel like they are in the right place. The work is hard, but the culture is FANTASTIC! Leadership conveys an attitude of teamwork and this is felt throughout the company. We have permission and freedom to fail - something that is important as we continue to grow. If you are looking for comfort and cruise control, keep going. This company is growing rapidly, we protect our culture, and there is a "team first" mentality. All roles and all positions are equally important.

In its 6th year, it still feels like a bit of a startup. We are growing rapidly so we are making changes rapidly. Each person here will wear a hat that isn't bragged about on their resumé. You will be stretched to grow in areas that will help the team, but you have to be willing to try. We are based in Greensboro, NC, but leadership and several roles are outside of the state, so zoom calls are our "conference rooms". Sometimes this can feel a bit disconnected. Because of the age of this company, there wasn't a handbook with what was expected of me when I started, so I just had to jump in and start swimming. Honestly, all of the cons I think of have to do with what I'd think would be common with most, if not all startups.
