Process

I applied to Indeed through Indeed.com.

They got back to me in a couple of days, asking for my availability for a short phone call with an HR person. This was basically to see what I was working on and what I would be interested in working on.

After which, a phone screen was scheduled.

The phone screen was a 45-minute interview which included a little background about myself, about the interviewer, a couple of front-end questions, and then an algorithm question. Nothing out of the ordinary.

They got back to me the next day to get my availability for an on-site interview at Indeed.

This is where they really grilled me. The interview process was exhausting. I had about five one-hour interviews and then a 90-minute coding challenge. All of them were technical rounds, except for the lunch, which was just a conversation about the work and general stuff.

Most of them concentrated on coding/algorithms and design, and were not easy at all. They touched on a lot of subjects. All of the interviewers were very friendly and would help you along the way if you got stuck.

While it was a good test of a person's technical skills, I felt the interview process was a bit too long. I mean, seven hours... I made sure the HR knew that the process was exhausting and that, down the line, I lost the ability to think.

Also, they don't pay too high either, which makes me wonder if the interview process to salary ratio was right.

Other than that, it was a good experience. Stay, travel, and food were taken care of by Indeed, and they were really quick to respond. Overall, it was a good experience, as I clearly knew where I lacked, and this helped me tune better for other interviews.
