Process
The first round consisted of two 30-minute video calls with seemingly inexperienced interviewers. They read questions from a laptop screen with minimal follow-up or engagement. The recruiter ghosted for a week. After I followed up, they provided a nondescript rejection.

Throw in the Towel
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Bellevue, Washington, United States
February 5, 2024
Pros: - Free lunch
- Strong co-workers at the IC level
Cons: Empty promises from executives. You will get laid off. Even with the recent lifeline ($250M), Flexport is on its ropes, and its runway is very short.
They claim to have far superior technology when compared to competitors, but the entire company runs on a 10-year-old Ruby on Rails monolith. Build time is usually 2+ hours.
The company was BARELY profitable in 2021/2022 when rates were 10X what they are today. Flexport will never return to anything remotely profitable.
