Process
The interview process starts with a typical thirty-minute phone screen.
The second step is a timed coding test conducted by a third party, Karat, over video chat and a text editor in a web browser. Karat conducts the interview as an impartial third party to avoid any bias in the technical interview process.
However, the content of the questions is dictated by Indeed. There were 10 minutes of general knowledge questions and then 50 minutes to solve three progressively more difficult questions. The questions build on top of each other to further implement more of the overall final complete solution.
It was a terrible experience, which was to be expected after finding out that it was a short time block for the process with someone staring over your shoulder. The only people who are going to pass this sort of test are those who only spend their free time practicing reimplementing algorithms from scratch.

Indeed Work Experiences
- 1.0No personal growth in careerSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeHyderābād, Telangana, IndiaFebruary 22, 2017Pros: Competitive salary. Great office location (it's inside the Google campus).Cons: They acquired Mobolt Inc (Hyderabad), shutting down its complete operation and indirectly asking all the old employees to look for other jobs somewhere else. A big question is why did you acquire an Indian startup when you didn't believe in their product and technology. Was it a mistake to acquire MoBolt, or did you fail to scale it? Here is a review of Indeed as a company in the Hyderabad office. You will always be working in your comfort zone. If you are a married guy and want to work in a government-type firm, go ahead. But if you want to learn and grow in your career, then it's a big NO. They will ask you to take initiative and work on ideas, but when it comes to implementation, your manager will drag you down; they will never support you. The company has no risk appetite; they want you to keep working on the same thing over and over again. They will face the same situation as Yahoo, who always thought they were geniuses and perfect at what they did, that nobody could lead them. See today. A company should always work on new modules/technology stacks and keep improving over the period of time. It is good for both the company and the employees. Indeed is horrible in that; your job will get frustrating once you get to know what they do!
