I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Indeed (Hyderabad) in Mar 2016
Interview
I was referred to by one of my friends, I got a call from their HR. First there was a hackerrank test followed by 4 rounds of onsite interviews. HR was very co-operative, in scheduling interviews for me.

Q-3: I forgot
Round-2:
Questions about recent projects
Given a k-ary tree with weights at each node, find path to leaf with shortest weight. I was asked to code for this. What if this is a graph? Only time complexity was done for this.
Round-3
Merge Sort on Magnetic Tapes
Round-4
Bar raiser, questions about how to fetch results at indeed, as in heuristics used.
Only did the 1st round. It was a medium Leetcode question. The interview was only for 30 min. Their compiler threw an unexpected error, which even the interviewers couldn't fix
Terrible scheduling. Difficult company to deal with. Will not contact again. Pay was below industry average for the location. Misleading job description. Benefits below standard. Hope everyone avoids this place
In total, there were five interviews. Three of them were more technical and the other two or more about your background. The technical interviews were pretty standard simple to medium Leetcode questions.

Question 1
I was asked about how we kept metrics in my previous job. When I told him that this was something we didn’t really do, he continued to harp on this question for the entirety of the interview, as if it was something that would be very difficult for me to learn.
