Process
Applied early Fall. Contacted for interviews 5 months later.
Stages included:
- HackerRank
- HR call
- Live coding session (OOP)
- An interview where I was told to prep for a deep dive into a project, but it ended up being just some impatient behavioral questions.
Then I got ghosted. No response from the recruiter.
Questions
Signed an NDA, so no details here.

Great Place to be an Engineer
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
June 30, 2017
Pros: Great People:
I have never worked with a smarter or more friendly group of people. It leads to a great working environment where I feel comfortable leaving before 6 every day and WFH as needed.
Great Product/Vision:
It's one thing to have a successful company, but another to have a successful company that is also doing meaningful work. I'm happy the work we do has tangible benefits for people.
Interesting Work:
We are modeling the world of global trade in software; a very hard and rewarding problem.
Cons: Dog Friendly: Most people like dogs, and the ones we have are well-trained, but I personally find them loud and obnoxious.
Possibly Too Fast Growth: Flexport has grown from 100 to 400 employees in the past 12 months, and I worry that growing too fast will lead to culture problems. We shall see.

Pros: We're tackling the real-world issue that has been front and center since COVID: the global supply chain. It's amazing how antiquated the whole industry is. Think of a $10 trillion industry that still relies on scaling by adding people and using fax machines. There's so much that can be done from a tech standpoint, and the number of impactful problems that can be solved never ends.
Cons: There's been some red tape that can slow us down at times, but it's gradually being worked on.
