Behavioral Technical Case
The interview process started with a recruiter screen, followed by a 1:1 chat with a team member, then an assignment which had some open-ended questions about shipping lanes. After that, there was another 1:1 with the manager, and it concluded with a loop interview. They discussed some of the assignment answers in the second interview. It was a very long interview process. No feedback was provided after the loop interview.

Behavioral
So, I had phone interviews twice before getting called in for in-person interviews. I was there for a while, met with a bunch of people, and felt pretty good about it. They said I'd hear back in about a week. Two weeks went by with no word, so I checked in. They said it was delayed but coming soon. Another two weeks passed and still nothing, even when I tried reaching out again. I was interviewing elsewhere so I moved on, but it felt weird not hearing back. Just out of curiosity, I reached out one more time and found out my main contact was out. I guess they should have handed off my application, but whatever. They realized I'd been waiting over a month and still no update on my candidacy. I eventually figured out Convoy's culture wasn't for me. The whole thing was super awkward and left a bad impression.

Coding Coding Behavioral Technical System Design
This was a really great interview process, probably the best I've experienced. The interviewers were all very professional and the questions were appropriately challenging. Knowing BFS/DFS concepts would be very helpful. They included behavioral questions in every round, and what was unique was that they focused on positive aspects, like asking about a great colleague and lessons learned from them. The HR team was also very reasonable and not pushy at all. Although I ended up choosing a different company for personal reasons, I'd definitely recommend this place.

Technical Case Coding Behavioral
The interview process is pretty similar to other tech companies. It typically involves two technical screens, though I only had one because I did an extended in-person screen at a conference. Then there was a 4-hour on-site, which was virtual for me because of the pandemic. The on-site had four parts: a case study in Operations Research, a coding challenge, behavioral questions from a bar raiser, and then behavioral and resume-related questions from the hiring manager. I have to say, the recruiter who helped me throughout was amazing. They were super responsive to emails and questions and really helpful with the salary negotiation.
