Interview
I recently interviewed for an Account Manager position at Flexport. The interview process consisted of four stages, and it became clear that the function and decision making are largely managed by the Dutch team.
Unfortunately, my overall candidate experience was disappointing. After investing considerable time in four interview rounds, I was told I would receive feedback, but no one reached out. I had to follow up myself, and only after chasing the recruiter did I receive a rejection.
I fully understand that not every interview results in an offer, and I have no issue with being rejected. However, I do expect clear and timely communication, especially after such an extensive interview process. Candidates invest a great deal of time and effort, and a simple follow up should not require chasing the recruitment team.
The interviewers themselves were professional, but the lack of communication after the process left me with a poor impression of Flexport's recruitment experience.

Interview
Round-0: Recruiter call or Screening call
Recruiter was friendly and clearly explained about the company, role and team. Asked to tell me about myself, then a recent project experience
Round-1: Technical coding 1 (1hr)
Graph based question asked as two parts. Not a direct question leetcode question, but had to take an example myself and write the class and methods.
Round-2: Behavioral Interview with Engineering manager (1hr)
Introduced each other, talked about team and responsibilities of the role. Then she asked about my experience like challenging project, conflict, things that I learned from current experience those I haven't before. Some follow-up question about the project experience and so on.
This interview went well. I stumbled for few questions but overall its a good experience. Engineering Manager was so cool that she was talking and having a conversation rather than firing questions back-to-back.
Round-3: Technical coding 2 (1hr)
More real world based question. Has three parts. First two parts are to design the required classes and methods involving shipping yard, containers, buyers and sellers. The third part is to implement an algorithm to match the bidding between buyer and seller and conduct the transaction.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Flexport in Feb 2026

HR, hiring manager, assignment, PM team, engineering team, design team. I've done it all, spend a lot of time on this process, and they never get back to me after the 5th round!
