      Staff Software Engineer Interview

      Jul 17, 2017
      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Flexport (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2017

      Interview

      In this job hunting season, I've interviewed with 8 companies. Flexport offered the best interview experience among all of the companies. 1) The recruiter, Kerianne, was extremely efficient, responsive and helpful. On our first phone call, she managed to arrange a same day short onsite interview at 5pm to replace phone screen because I happen to be in the city. On the next day 8am, she emailed me to schedule the onsite interview. Again, on the next day of the onsite, she and the hiring manager called me to extend the offer. While I was considering the offer, Kerianne actively organized several phone calls/meetings with their team members to help me learn more about the company, the team, and the industry. 2) The Flexport team is awesome. All the interviewers are nice and competent. Another important thing is that I can see their enthusiasm about the product and mission they are building towards to. 3) Along the interview process, I learned more about freight forwarding/logistic industry. I strongly believe that Flexport is a great position: the industry is old and huge, Flexport has the strong tech and operations competency to become the market leader. I really like Flexport and the team. In the end, I didn't join them because it takes me 1 hours commute each way. I joined another company that is 7 minutes away from my home. It was a really tough decision, and likely a bad one.

      Staff Software Engineer Interview

      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Flexport

      Interview

      First "interview" was with a recruiter for about 30 mins, fairly standard behavioral questions. Then a second call about a month later with a staff engineer. This was a pretty negative experience. I found the interviewer abrasive, raising his voice at me repeatedly, emphasizing he had better things to be doing, and overall being fairly belittling. Although I'll admit my answer to the technical (System Design) question was not great, having someone berating and interrupting did not help me. I've done well over 150 interviews for my current company, and regardless of how a candidate does, we treat them with professionalism and respect. I'd like to think Flexport trains their interviewers the same way, and I had someone who fell asleep during their training.

      Question 1

      System Design question. Not too unusual.

      Amsterdam
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Flexport (Amsterdam) in Jun 2021

      Interview

      Unclear process and interview questions. The recruiter asks you to prepare for Algorithms and Data structures. The interview was a random question without any context. I resolved the solution properly but I didn't receive any feedback only email rejection from the recruiter. Bad experience
