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?

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16497690 and marked it off-topic.

It definitely isn't fair for someone to post private info about your interview process, and we've redacted it below. But it also isn't so fair to reply to a job ad with this kind of a complaint in the first place. Your comment might be absolutely legit, but it might also be disgruntled distortion—those are pretty common too. Since there's no way for outsiders to know, and no way to substantively answer the complaint, it really doesn't add any information. So these comments are off topic in Who Is Hiring threads and we've taken to detaching them.

I don't think this kind of interview feedback should be shared publicly. This is really unprofessional and makes you look bad. I have been interested in flexport for a while and I find this disappointing.
Thanks for the feedback. I regret my response. Alas, the edit window has passed.
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
