Convoy Reviews

Undervalued - Every single one of my peers that I've talked to, who's not in management, feels undervalued. A few other reviews mentioned this; the salaries are way below market rate and they promise you paltry amounts of equity in exchange. You can't live on equity in a city as expensive as Seattle, and there’s an inherent risk in equity that they expect you’ll overlook. Overworked - expect to pull regular 10 hr days. If you want overtime, you'll be laughed at. People do it anyway because they're invested in the mission. If you leave on time or take a lunch break, you get side-eyes and disapproving glances (not even from management, it's just the culture here) if you’re in the operations teams. No upward mobility - management is almost always hired externally. I mentioned that a PRO was personal growth; a CON is that Convoy's a professional dead-end. You'll find a smattering of people promoted-from-within, but to be honest, it's a little curious how all of the people who are friends with management outside of work have been the ones who are promoted. Some of them have proven themselves - others have not. Diversity and sexism - HR’s trying, they really are, but it’s pretty bad here. One team in particular has lost every single woman they recruit within a few months of hire. We’re also pretty lacking in diversity.

Culture is extremely cut throat. Business trajectory is sharply down. Lots of Amazon worshippers in leadership. Misguided strategy which deprioritizes growth and shippers needs. I mean if you are going to copy Amazon at least copy their customer centricity. Tons of recent departures. People /HR org a constant disaster. Whiplash from the constant changes of messaging. Product org has a huge ego problem. And the pay is well below average for the caliber of talent they want to attract.
