I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Flexport
Interview
Reached out to the recruiter and scheduled a time to talk. She called me 20 minutes late, asked a few elementary questions while seeming distracted all the while, but ended the call by inviting me to follow up by emailing my resume so we could schedule an in person meeting. She never replied to my follow ups. All in all a very negative and discouraging experience, especially because I feel very passionate about the product and company's direction.
Hope you're having a great day! Thank you for your interest in Flexport. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have a great experience with a member of our Recruiting Team! If you're willing to give us another chance, I'd be happy to follow up and continue the conversation.
Feel free to reach out to me directly at Kristen@Flexport.com.

Average interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Flexport (London, England)
Interview
I had to go through a 'panel' interview and instead of speaking to two or three people at once, I had to have a video call with 4 different people over 5 sessions. If you are working full time, especially if it's full time in the office, this is absolutely ludicrous to demand this much time off from people to go to these interviews.

Question 1
How do you handle conflict within a team? What do you do if a colleague is not 'pulling their weight'?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Flexport (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2025
Interview
The interview went very well. It was a positive and remarkably straightforward discussion, creating a wonderfully friendly environment. I appreciated the clear questions and the honest, direct feedback provided throughout the entire engaging conversation.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself and walk me through your resume.
Describe a time you faced a significant challenge at work. How did you handle it, and what was the outcome?
Why do you want to work for our company, and why are you interested in this specific role?
It was great! Everyone was very nice and friendly. Everyone I talked to was helpful and they answered any questions I had. Although I did not get the job they were still very clear and forthcoming about it.
