Applied for the new grad full-stack position. Most of the interviews were honestly pretty good. However, in my behavioral onsite interview, the interviewer seemed a bit disinterested.
My coding portion of the virtual onsite was where I was a little bit upset. Two questions I was asked I had previously been asked in the first two technical screening interviews. I was honest with the interviewer that I had seen those problems, and it took them about 5-7 minutes to look for another problem. This wasted valuable time and I wasn't able to solve the second half of the problem.
I applied online. I interviewed at Flexport (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2026
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.
Two rounds of leetcode questions. Asked about your experiences first and then do one of two lc questions. Easy or easy medium level. Interviewers are very friendly and not stressful interview at all.
1. self introduction
2. a leetcode style problem, need to finish coding and test cases design, the code need to be complied and run successfully
3. any questions to ask interviewer
