I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (New York, NY) in June 2022
Interview
1st Round: Phone Screen with Recruiter (30 minutes)
This is just a casual conversation with an Indeed recruiter where you introduce yourself, discuss what type of role you're looking for, and go over the interview process. My recruiter was both kind and informative as to what they're looking for and how to best prepare for the interviews. If all is good there, you will be invited to schedule your interview conducted via Karat. (I personally scheduled mine 2 days after)
2nd Round: Online Code Screen via Karat.io (1 hour)
You will have a video call with an interviewer and access to a Coderpad IDE to solve 3 coding questions. There are 10 minutes for behavioral questions, and 50 minutes for coding, using a language of your choice. You want to solve at least 2 of 3 questions to move forward to the final round.
My interviewer was patient, respectful, and helped answer any questions I had while working through each problem or to clarify the problem itself. There was also a few minutes (5 minutes) left for questions about Karat or the interview process.
Final Round: Onsite with Indeed (TBD)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard Behavioral Questions:
i.e. Tell me about the most challenging project you worked on.
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.
