J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Flexport (San Francisco, CA) en oct. 2018
Entretien
Overall, one of the most fulfilling and personable interviews I have done.
I started off my process with a phone-call with a recruiter, where I got to talk a lot about myself and help her get a holistic understanding about what role I was interested in and what I was looking for in my career.
Then, I had a technical phone interview with one of the Flexport engineers. To start off, he gave me an example of how a shipment gets to my home and described how Flexport plays into each part of the freight-forwarding process. Then, we moved on to the problem and the interviewer was very engaged and interactive throughout the process.
Then, I moved-on to the onsite, where there were 4 interviews. Beyond just the technical questions, I could really feel that the engineers at Flexport were incredibly driven and passionate when they talked about the products and tools that they’re building at Flexport.
After receiving an offer, my recruiter connected me with multiple resources and people that would help me make my decision. Everyone at Flexport was incredibly supportive and prioritized on giving me the best place for my professional and personal growth. Flexport is truly a company that invests a lot in the people who work there, and no doubt, will be a company that will create enormous impact to the freight-forwarding industry.

Round-0: Recruiter call or Screening call
Recruiter was friendly and clearly explained about the company, role and team. Asked to tell me about myself, then a recent project experience
Round-1: Technical coding 1 (1hr)
Graph based question asked as two parts. Not a direct question leetcode question, but had to take an example myself and write the class and methods.
Round-2: Behavioral Interview with Engineering manager (1hr)
Introduced each other, talked about team and responsibilities of the role. Then she asked about my experience like challenging project, conflict, things that I learned from current experience those I haven't before. Some follow-up question about the project experience and so on.
This interview went well. I stumbled for few questions but overall its a good experience. Engineering Manager was so cool that she was talking and having a conversation rather than firing questions back-to-back.
Round-3: Technical coding 2 (1hr)
More real world based question. Has three parts. First two parts are to design the required classes and methods involving shipping yard, containers, buyers and sellers. The third part is to implement an algorithm to match the bidding between buyer and seller and conduct the transaction.
