I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX) in Dec 2017
Interview
Recruiter, phone interview and onsite.
The phone interview was a shared screen coding interview.
The onsite was a 9 hour panel type interview. The interviews covered a variety of topics from past experiences, debugging, coding and design.
I have successfully interviewed with many companies and their experiences has been great, however, I cannot say the same for Indeed.
Some interviewers did not seem to be interested in the process and were overly hostile. For example, one interviewer had the "self-righteousness" or the "I'm right, you're wrong" attitude. It was a bit uncomfortable, but I managed to get through it.
I didn't feel some have the correct training to conduct interviewers as well. In particular, one interviewer stared at his/her computer the whole time and was a bit hostile once I started asking questions. I wasn't sure whether or not he/she was writing down everything I'm saying or fixing a high severity issue during the interview.
While some interviewers were great, the negative red flags that stood out during some of the interviews outweigh the positives. At the end of the day, I was not sure if I wanted the job if these were the type of people I would be working with.
Only did the 1st round. It was a medium Leetcode question. The interview was only for 30 min. Their compiler threw an unexpected error, which even the interviewers couldn't fix
Terrible scheduling. Difficult company to deal with. Will not contact again. Pay was below industry average for the location. Misleading job description. Benefits below standard. Hope everyone avoids this place
In total, there were five interviews. Three of them were more technical and the other two or more about your background. The technical interviews were pretty standard simple to medium Leetcode questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked about how we kept metrics in my previous job. When I told him that this was something we didn’t really do, he continued to harp on this question for the entirety of the interview, as if it was something that would be very difficult for me to learn.
