I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Flexport (Los Angeles, CA) in Dec 2018
Interview
I have read some of the reviews at Glassdoor before I starting my process with the company but unfortunately, I have the same experience as many people mentioned here. Their recruiter people act like "they are the busiest ppl around the world and your time and background is invaluable" I have been following the company since they entered the industry and got huge disappointed! Very unprofessional recruiting team. Here is the process;
The recruiter contacted me via email and asked me to set a date for a phone screen interview via using his attached calendar. I did it. when the date and time came I was at home by my computer but no one called me. Then after 20 minutes received an email from the recruiter who said he could not make it and would like to set another time via the same method. The only availability was after 2 weeks from the day I was expecting a call. Anyways I picked the first available date and time again and He called me late ( at least he did it this time) and run into my interview very fast with below questions. I am not disappointed about why he did not carry me on another level but about how a recruiter makes you feel "your time, background, and future plan is not valuable". Hope to come across with more enthusiastic and professional recruiters..

Interview
Straightforward and open dialogue, responsive HR. There can be up to six stages. I was successful in two interviews but did not progress further because the vacancy was put on hold.

Question 1
In the second interview, they presented a case study in which to find solutions for a small client. They also asked how to deal with customers asking for lower rates than operationally feasible.

Interview
No one in the company has any freight forwarding experience and they act like they are offering some breakthrough service offering, but it’s the same as any other freight forwarder. Everything is the same as everyone else, but they have this magical dashboard that is supposed to solve all the customers problems. One interviewer seemed like they cared and the other could have been playing fortnite on his laptop for all I know. This has the feel of a company that will be acquired by Amazon in two years or go belly up when they run out of seed funding because they don’t know freight.

Question 1
Leadership questions and a very bad case study that is not quantitative at all. They ask about a customer that has some small import freight business from China and how you would try to win their business and onboard the customer. Just a very bad job overall. The interviewers had zero freight experience so its like talking to a clueless idiots.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Flexport
Interview
Scheduled 15 minutes with recruiter which was easy/simple. Had a zoom call with the hiring manager which was also casual, then went onward to have 3 30 min, and 1 40 min in person interviews along with a presentation to a panel.
Never met with a recruiter at the interview, interviewers walked me in and out.
Following the interview I followed up for a few weeks with the recruiters/coordinators for next steps. Eventually I got a cryptic call saying they were doing a re-org and freezing hiring for this position until they have ensured its the appropriate level. They then requested I call them in a month to see where they landed. Very disjointed / confusing process.
