I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed in Jan 2015
Interview
First round consisted of a timed coding challenge on HackerRank and a technical interview with an engineer over the phone. Second round is an all day technical interview at the office with lunch. The all day interview consists of 3-4 whiteboard coding problems and a 90 minute solo coding challenge on a computer.

Question 1
All of the coding questions were related to Indeed's product and business area so that was nice. I signed an NDA so I won't give exact questions but other reviews have exact questions asked during the process. They are looking at how you approach the problem as well as how good your solution is. All of the whiteboard problems involved a Big O analysis and a question about how to make the solution better. Always try to make the complexity of your solution better.
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.
