Business Outlook
Pros
Expeditors offers a good work-life balance and generally positive atmosphere.
Cons
Expeditors is basically a shipping company, like the post office. And like the post office, it's stodgy. They have core systems (actively maintained) written in Cobol. Their Java-development efforts are hampered by old frameworks and patterns. The bureaucracy is heavy, the pay is low, and there's no option to telecommute. It's the opposite type of environment in which smart, young, programmers thrive.
