I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Flexport in Mar 2017
Interview
I had a phone call with recruiter set up and was never called. It was rescheduled for an hour later and again never called. When we finally connected a day later my experience with the recruiter had me questioning my interest in the company in the first place. It felt as though she was reading from a script and was not actually listening to my answers or questions about the position/company. I then scheduled an interview via skype with 2 people actually in Global Operations. This was a much better experience - they were a pleasure to talk to, engaged and were clearly passionate about the company. My recommendation for Flexport is to make some adjustments to recruiting as it seems several other people have had similar negative experiences.
there were three stages: a regular interview with questions such as telling the interviewer about yourself and some STAR style questions, a case study interview surrounding dealing with an unhappy client/losing client’s supplies, and an interview which surrounded questions on drive and resilience.

Question 1
Simple star style questions: ‘give me a time you were able to automate a… and solved an issue in your former/current workplace’
Following stages were case studies and an interview discussing drive and resilience
4 rounds with good communication on he next step for each round. Started with a phone call with a recruiter and moved up to meeting with the office GM at the end of the process

Phone screen followed up by interview with hiring manager. Got an auto email saying they were moving on with other candidates whose skills more closely aligned with what they were looking for.
