The first round was a skype interview and unfortunately that morning my computer decided it didn’t want to live anymore. But the person interviewing me was totally understanding and suggested we facetime as an alternative. The interviewer asked some challenging questions to gauge my interest in the company/industry/position - I had no experience in the industry but my answers were genuine, and I felt the interviewer appreciated that.
Second round was in the Flexport office (which is awesome). I did have to sit in the lobby for a few minutes, but since its an open office you can plainly see that everyone is extremely busy. I met with three people total: The first worked in operations, the second was the head of business development, and the third was the COO. The questions were mostly behavioral/fit, experience-oriented, and one theoretical case study. Overall it was a positive experience and everyone was very excited about the future of the company.
Last round was a meeting with Ryan, the CEO. When I got into the office they were eating lunch so my interview took place while me and the CEO ate pizza. It was just a casual conversation, and by that point I had done enough research to have a decent conversation about the industry, competitors, and future of the company. A week later I got my offer.
The industry space is really exciting and Flexport has HUGE potential so I already loved the value prop – but the employees sold me on the company.
