1st round with HR, 2nd round with hiring manager, 3rd round with head of department. 2nd round required SQL test whereby you are required to share your screen and walk through code of a recent project.

I applied online and was reached out to by their recruiter to set up a phone interview. It was delayed for a week due to illness (which was annoying but hey, life happens). The phone conversation with the recruiter was incredible - she had great energy and really did an amazing job of selling me on Flexport and why I should want to work there. A week later I had a zoom interview with my potential manager. She seemed friendly and knowledgeable and was prompt with the time of our interview (even though she happened to be traveling). Two weeks later, I was asked to work on a data project that I had to turn in. The instructions were a little more vague than I expected, but I figured they wanted to see how my brain worked so I didn't ask too many questions. After I turned in that project, I was asked to come on-site for an in person interview. The in-person interview was with 3 different business partners and the fourth was to present my data findings to my potential future team/peers. I thought all of the interviewers were friendly and knowledgeable but 2 of the 4 business partners video'd in (as opposed to interviewing me in person), which I thought was a bit odd. There was a round of in-person "how would you solve this problem" with a business partner and it was the only part of the interview I didn't feel super confident about. The other sense I got (and this may have just been the vibe I got from this particular department) was that most of the people I met were fairly introverted and I wasn't sure after leaving that personality-wise I would've been a great fit for that team. All things considered, however, I got a great impression of the company and felt well prepared for what to expect. The recruiting team was super responsive and checked in with me on a regular basis. They were incredibly professional and arguably the best recruiting team I've ever worked with. I didn't end up getting the offer and was rejected over the phone (which... I've never had someone do that before but in retrospect I appreciated it). I was annoyed considering the amount of TIME I had spent waiting between the phone interview, video interview, the data project that I worked on for a week, and all of the in-person rounds... only to get rejected. It was two months of hoping only to be let down. At the end of the day, I ended up getting a better offer a week later and I think the role I ended up getting with the other company was a better fit (culture-wise and job-wise), so there were no hard feelings. Overall it was an incredibly positive experience and if an opportunity came up at Flexport in the future, I'd certainly consider it.
