I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Flexport (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2022
Interview
The recruiter got in touch with me. the initial call, tech round, system design and interview with senior manager. Got offer in 3 days since the last interview. It was very easy interview and I have a feeling that their employees are not that competent.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Description: Design a class such that, 1. You will be given fixes set of token and card with a cost in terms of tokens required to buy it. You have to decide whether you can buy the card with given number of tokens 2. Write a function which will buy the card with given number of token (If you have enough of them) and also update total tokens you have 3. Assuming you already have existing set of cards, if you have card with the same color as token you need to buy the new card, you can buy it without spending any token on it. 4. For example, number of token you need to buy card [1 red 1 red 2 green]. Tokens you have [1 red 1 red 1 green] and you already have a green card with you. Can you compensate for the missing green token with green card you already possess without losing it and also use it for the next purchase if it satisfies that condition Some tips: Make sure to, 1. Handle errors 2. Use dictionaries (For O(1) access) 3. Add comments to the code
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Flexport in Oct 2024
Interview
1st round - 1 DSA LLD type question and building on it.
2nd round - LLD round -> The interviewer was yawning the whole time. Felt like he was least interested to take the interview. Not sure what kind of company I interviewed for.
3rd round - HM Round -> Not sure what was the guy expecting. He asked random questions and then asked a DSA problem and told me to mail him the solution.
Not at all a good experience.

Question 1
Asked about project related questions and system design of the swiggy app along with database design and API
3 coding rounds, 1 design and 1 director round. Did very well in most of them. friendly people, but their feedback was rather vague. Could've been beter, but they were upfront and honest about expectations.
