I interviewed for a position on their systems team. The entire interview process was very technical, and you could tell their teams are very selective.

I had a 45-minute phone screen and then interviewed in person with five different people. They have a smart group, and I enjoyed spending time learning about their environment. Kudos to the team out there.

I felt pretty good about the job after leaving the in-person interview, but I was very put off by the offer process.

The recruiter asked me to provide proof of income upon leaving the in-person interview, and I later received an email stating they could not extend an offer in writing without it.

I'd never been asked for this before and thought it was weird. I asked why this was required, and they said it's because candidates occasionally lie through the interview process, so the company does this to verify before extending offers.

I refused to provide anything and eventually received a verbal offer, but the process left a bad impression on me. It felt odd and made me feel like maybe I was being treated differently from other candidates.

I ended up declining the offer after some back and forth. I hope that Indeed considers changing that policy.

I was asked to calculate the theoretical network throughput of a job running across several racks of machines in a cluster.
