3 rounds: hr, peer, and mgr.
The overall process was smooth. The recruiter was really responsive and helpful. The only down side was the leader took weeks to make a final decision probly because he was interviewing many candidates in the meantime.

Question 1
I was asked to improvise a pitch based on the system screen captures I was shown.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Flexport (Hong Kong) in Sep 2020
Interview
After submitting CV on JobsDB, the recruiter reached out to me for an initial 30-minute chat. She wanted to understand my motivations to join the firm and why I'm interested in the role, as well as my educational and professional background. My salary expectations were also asked.
The next round was the final round, which was essentially 2 video online interviews back-to-back of each other. The first interview was conducted by one of the managers of the larger client solutions team. He wanted to get to know me better, explained the organization structure of Flexport and where I would fit in, and also gave me a quantitative case interview. The second interview was conducted by the direct hiring managers. They probed more on my previous professional experience and wanted to understand my logic of how I handled clients. The second interview ended by a client presentation case study, where I had to study the portal and then give a presentation to the managers as if they were prospective clients.
I received the follow-up call from the original recruiter around 10 days afterwards to understand my experience on the overall application process, and then another follow-up call the day after which explained the details of the offer.

Question 1
Why are you looking to join Flexport?
How would you determine if a client is not worth your time?
Do you have any prior experience in the logistics industry?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Flexport (Chicago, IL)
Interview
The interview was roughly 15 min long which includes
the interviewers 7 minute tardiness. I know I didn’t interview well but clearly the employee was having a bad day as her attitude very much reflected so which I’m turn, made me more nervous.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself and what you know about the company
Whoever my interviewer was, she shouldn't be doing this job. These days you expect to have a conversation, rather than someone simply reading standard cliched questions of the list and reading (again, no attempt to make it casual) the information about the company directly from the About section of their website.
