Vantaggi
From the very beginning (even before I joined) my experience with Shippo has been truly fantastic. The interview process was one of the best I’ve ever gone through. I went through several rounds, and every conversation was handled with care, clarity, and respect. Everyone I spoke with was kind, transparent about the role and culture, and genuinely interested in creating a great experience. Special shoutout to the recruiter, who was absolutely flawless throughout the entire journey! Once I joined, the onboarding process continued that same high standard: extremely well-structured, with tons of valuable information, clear goal-setting, and realistic expectations. I felt welcomed, empowered, and set up for success right away. A small but awesome perk: you also get a brand new MacBook, which makes the start feel even more special! Culturally, Shippo lives its values day to day. The people are a unique mix of fun, sharp, and straightforward... the kind of team that makes work enjoyable and energizing. There’s also a rare level of transparency: the company openly shares updates on business performance and strategy, which helps build trust and a strong sense of direction. I’m incredibly happy to be part of Shippo. It’s a place that values people, delivers on its promises, and builds an environment where great work can happen.
Svantaggi
If I had to point out one specific challenge, it’s that if you choose (yes, you can choose!) to be an independent contractors (PJ) in Brazil, you'll have different benefits than full-time employees, particularly around paid time off. Holidays aren’t included, so time off is either unpaid or deducted from vacation days. It’s something to consider if you want to choose this model, but hasn’t taken away from the overall positive experience.
