I applied online. I interviewed at Flexport (Hong Kong) in Mar 2017
Interview
1. Phone Interview
The recruiter called me and asked a questions about my education and working background. And introduced the company and the position.
After that they emailed me see if I wanted to proceed into a second Skype interview.
2. Skype Interview (General interview questions and spread sheet test)
Two of their current employees interviewed me. The first interviewer just asked questions similar to the phone interview about my background and motivation.
The second interviewer gave me the spreadsheet test. It was basically some calculation according to the information they provided in the spreadsheet.
I did not perform well in this section since I was not sure about what they are looking for. The calculation was easy though.
there were three stages: a regular interview with questions such as telling the interviewer about yourself and some STAR style questions, a case study interview surrounding dealing with an unhappy client/losing client’s supplies, and an interview which surrounded questions on drive and resilience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Simple star style questions: ‘give me a time you were able to automate a… and solved an issue in your former/current workplace’
Following stages were case studies and an interview discussing drive and resilience
4 rounds with good communication on he next step for each round. Started with a phone call with a recruiter and moved up to meeting with the office GM at the end of the process
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Flexport (Chicago, IL) in May 2024
Interview
Phone screen followed up by interview with hiring manager. Got an auto email saying they were moving on with other candidates whose skills more closely aligned with what they were looking for.
