Entretien
Received an invitation for a phone interview, which went over my background, current roles, etc. Was then invited to an on-site interview due to my experience within the industry, but was later told I did not get the position due to my experience (or lack of); I was dumbfounded. I left feeling great about the interview. This could've easily been handled over the phone.
It seems that Flexport is looking for a specific type of person; undoubtedly people who fit in to the tech startup "norm" rather than those that stand out. But that's pure speculation. Do I think great candidates fall through the cracks? From the previous reviews posted on Glassdoor, yes, absolutely. Sounds like plenty of candidates who have 100% potential to do this job, a drive for the industry, and would willingly bust their *** day in and day out to support what Flexport is looking to accomplish are being passed on. And that's devastating to hear. But at the end of the day, you can either present yourself how Flexport wants you to, or you can't.

Question 1
Met with several team members in the office- some managers, some associates. Management is Fantastic, and was very welcoming and accommodating. They all bring tons of knowledge to the table and will teach you things about the industry you never knew. The associate I interviewed with, on the other hand, was flailing all over the place, barely able to catch her own breath while speaking at 1000 mph. Most likely a recent college grad, with her current position being introduction to this challenging industry. Sprinkle on a tad of arrogance, and here we go:

I had to go through a 'panel' interview and instead of speaking to two or three people at once, I had to have a video call with 4 different people over 5 sessions. If you are working full time, especially if it's full time in the office, this is absolutely ludicrous to demand this much time off from people to go to these interviews.

How do you handle conflict within a team? What do you do if a colleague is not 'pulling their weight'?

Tell me about yourself and walk me through your resume.
Describe a time you faced a significant challenge at work. How did you handle it, and what was the outcome?
Why do you want to work for our company, and why are you interested in this specific role?
It was great! Everyone was very nice and friendly. Everyone I talked to was helpful and they answered any questions I had. Although I did not get the job they were still very clear and forthcoming about it.
