An Indeed recruiter contacted me to apply for a specific role, and I went through their lengthy hiring process. It took approximately 3 weeks from start to finish. Despite doing well on the majority of the interviews, I was ghosted, with no responses to my follow-ups. It's been over 3 weeks since finalizing the process, so it's safe to say they have no intention of extending an offer.

The people I interacted with throughout the interview process were great, and I got a good impression of the people who work at Indeed. However, I can't recommend anyone invest their time going through this process when they don't respect the time and effort candidates have to go through to maybe get an offer. If it's not a good fit, they should have the decency to communicate that effectively.

• ProEx: You are given job postings and search queries. Match the best job posting based on the query and sort depending on some constraints.

• Whiteboard: Found the equivalent on LC. It was Moving Average from Data Stream but with minor modifications. Be prepared to discuss implementation and go into more details about optimizations.

• Resume Deep Dive: Be prepared to go into detail about a project you've worked on. You may get follow-up questions, which depend on the conversation; make sure you know why things were implemented and the tradeoffs. The interviewer did not go through your entire resume.

• Code Review: You are given a "sample" pull request and review it as if you're reviewing a junior's code. You choose the programming language. There are bugs to find, but the rest is open-ended, such as syntax, naming conventions, etc.
