Also had a bad experience with their hiring (product role). In my case HR seemed very with it but everything after was awful. CTO particularly seemed disinterested and not sure why he was in the interview. Sr product person was a bad interviewer focused on getting 'the answer' to a Flexport specific case about freight forwarding / drayage that needed lots of domain specific knowledge to solve to her satisfaction. Culture at that time (~2016) seemed really sad. Nobody super excited about the space, their job ("we mostly just go home at night - we don't regularly socialize") or tech. All they seemed to be excited about was infinite TAM / equity appreciation and Ryan (and his dog(s)).
