I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (Boston, MA) in June 2022
Interview
30 minute initial phone screen with the tech recruiter.
If they want to move you along you get scheduled for a 1 hr karat interview. (You do have an opportunity for a redo if the first 1 hour interview doesn't go well).
After that you get scheduled for a 6 hour block of interviews. Those include 2 coding blocks, an architecture block, code review block, and a resume deep dive.
They use HackerRank for their coding questions so if you are going to practice go there.
All of the interviewers were extremely nice as were the tech recruiters. I received a phone call from their recruiter with the bad news as opposed to the standard email.

Question 1
Karat Interview (1 Hour)
Pick from 5 categories to answer verbal questions (OO, Testing, UI, Systems administration, and something else)
Indeed
2 Coding Questions during six hour block
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.

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.
