Software Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
I met them at a school career fair where we chatted. They sent me a one-hour online coding question. I did well enough that they flew me onsite, including dinner and a very nice hotel room to stay in the night before the interview.
The onsite interview consisted of three 45-minute whiteboard sessions and an hour-and-a-half coding session. It was my first onsite interview, and I was very overwhelmed and drained by the end of it.
The questions were challenging, but if I could take it again now that I have more experience, I think I would do much better.
Questions
Questions about the unrolled linked list data structure.
I believe this was a warm-up question, as the others were much more difficult for me.

Indeed Work Experiences
- 3.0Excellent work-life balanceSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesFebruary 11, 2024Pros: Great teammates, great work-life balance.Cons: The company is going through some adjustment phases. This can be frustrating, but it's hopefully temporary. It's difficult to get raises or promotions in the current belt-tightening environment.
- 5.0Chill Team, Solid PaySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesOctober 12, 2022Pros: Solid work-life balance, solid pay, everyone is chill.Cons: Pay is not top of the line.
- 4.0Good company, but inefficient systems engineering organizationSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesAugust 31, 2019Pros: Indeed has a fantastic work culture. Everyone is smart and friendly. They treat the engineers extremely well. We have great benefits, and it's a joy to come to work. We have big technical projects but don't have to break our backs to get them done. Compensation is among the highest in the Austin area. I'm proud to work here.Cons: The engineering org is unusually political. If you need a project that introduces new technology, it's not enough to make a good technical case. You also need to appease individuals in the "global infrastructure"/"systems engineering" organization. Without their approval, they'll actively block your work. Even with their approval, they'll take months to do the work necessary to let you do your work, while imposing unusual access restrictions in the name of cost and security. Almost my entire team is operating at 33% efficiency as we're blocked on systems engineering efforts to move forward. There needs to be some alignment among senior leadership on how we choose to empower developers to occasionally break the mold.
