don't interview with them, I had an onsite a few years ago with them and they cancelled it after I booked the hotel room and refused to reimburse me, what a joke of a company.

web: $130k-$150k salary Deep Learning Computer Vision: $130k-$170k(PhD).

kinda funny they are claiming to pay the web people nearly the same salary as the PhD level ML people.

1.) its the usual euphemism used to make you feel bad for the company's fuck ups, it goes along with "not enough experience". If your company is focused on years of experience, instead of skills/talent/potential, your setting yourself up for disaster. Those companies don't become the google's of the world because of their shortsightedness and inability to plan properly for the future by treating their employee's well. 2.) Some questions are valid such as tell me a time when you weren't able to deliver to the customer (Amazon), others are BS such as "why do you want to work here," (the proper response is, it doesn't matter now since I don't want to anymore). 3.) Many are evaluating you on valid HR nightmares such as inability to filter out your personal life from the business life but many I've seen are just seeing if your going to try to move up faster in the corporate ladder compared to them. B managers hire C teams, A managers hire A+ teams.

Ironically many people doing the interviews don't like the competition, so they don't pass the candidate, who can call them out on it? Nobody really.

Interview Process: 2-3 technical interviews, an on-site, then some references, then an offer. I had one technical interview and that went well; however, when I found out they wanted references and explained that employers don't usually give references due to the risk of lawsuits, we decided it best not to move forward. If you are thinking of applying, consider going elsewhere.

Hi dmnd, In fact I got all of the 2 interview questions right during the onsite and when I asked why the interview was so short, the interviewer said there is a system design portion is only for people with 3 or more years of experience. In fact my glassdoor review summarizes my interviewing experience at flexport. For those wanting some advice on the job application process, including how to handle bad companies, https://medium.com/@myazhbin/http-bit-ly-2rrxfty-492e30d1e97...

I certainly will never be applying to flexport again

I would encourage you not to apply as I nailed the onsite yet was told that I lacked experience. They knew my experience when I applied. Not a serious company, maybe thats why they have so many open positions?
