It was 5 rounds total. First was an HR phone call (30 mins), then a Hiring Manager initial screen (30 mins). After that, I had a 1-hour session to present 2 projects from my portfolio. Then, a 1-hour Whiteboard Challenge, and finally, a 1-hour session with stakeholders for cross-functional and behavioral discussions.

Behavioral Presentation Technical
The interview process was pretty standard and aligned with what was on their website. It started with a phone call with the recruiter, followed by a call with the hiring manager. Then, there was a 4-hour virtual onsite. This included an introduction to Flexport and the team, which was nice, followed by a portfolio presentation to a product panel (hiring manager, 2 team members, an engineer, and a PM). After that, there was a whiteboarding exercise and a series of 1:1 meetings with the hiring manager, a PM, and an engineer. Ultimately, there was no mutual fit. The interview process was well organized, but like others have mentioned, I got ghosted by the manager or recruiter. Even though the outcome wasn't a surprise, it's disappointing to be ghosted after the onsite, especially for a company like Flexport.
