An Insider's view of FourKites

How does your team reward individual success?

We find that getting to know what motivates a team member allows us to give more valuable and appreciated rewards and recognition. It could be a team meeting shout out for a job well done, a gift card through our wish list program, an exciting new project that allows the employee to work with new teams or departments or even a spot bonus.

What projects are you most excited about?

I had the privilege of being involved in the development of Appointment Manager and providing feedback when it was just a "simple" calendar designed to assist our customers in organizing appointments based on real-time ETAs. The utilization of this tool yields significant time savings, making it an undeniable favorite of mine.

Kayla

Customer Enablement Manager

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

From day one, I have been encouraged to explore my professional interests. I had only been an individual contributor in previous roles but was interested in people management – here, I have had the opportunity to grow into a manager role and the company has sponsored my participation in leadership programs to support my professional development.

Helen

Manager of Professional Services

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

The design team goes beyond being creative. We are strategic thinkers who execute scalable and sustainable product user experiences for our customers. Empathy is at the core of our design and more importantly, the entire FourKites company. I always encourage my team to think through our customer's lens in order to be the most impactful.
