I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Flexport (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2019
Interview
1. Recorded video interview- Behavioral questions
2. Phone screen- Behavioral STAR questions with team manager
- Interviewer told me they were trying to get 40 people in Chicago office fast as humanly possible, and went over pay and benefits and asked how interested I was in the role
3. 5 hours later Recruiter contacted me for on-site interview
I was out-of-state and the interview was scheduled with 4 day notice.
This company does not provide any travel or lodging accommodations for interview candidates. I proposed that we did a video interview, instead of an on-site interview (I've done this with other companies before) and I haven't heard back from them since!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name one bias that you have and how do you deal with it in a professional setting?
3 rounds, first is phone interview with basic introduction, second round is interview by junior, third round is a case interview with a supply chain scenario were you have to answer how you would deal with a problematic situation.
The process is good, the interviewer is nice. But I stopped at the fifth interview. Total took around 3 weeks to go through the interviews, plus 1-2 weeks for the application period.
Phone screening followed by 4 in person interviews. Mostly behavioral and one very easy case study to demonstrate your thought process. Experience was great overall and there were no tough technical questions.
