Very long process. 6 interviews. Technical and non-technical. Coding tasks and code review exercise. Architecture and design session. A lot more hands on technical interviews than expected. Lots of interviewers were late or delegated to junior staff members including new starters.
I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX) in Aug 2016
Interview
They have you "mock interview" a Indeed staff person. This is a trap to see if you will agree that someone they hired should have been hired.
The person I interviewed, was unprepared for the interviewed, had difficulty with my questions, had poor time management skills, gave lame answers as to why they would join my mock company, and had a poor resume.
My advice is to just give a softball interview and just agree that Indeed made a great decision hiring the employee.
They also love the 2 on 1 group interviewing. My interview lasted from 9:15am to 7pm.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Like so many companies they love the A* Search interview question.
Smart and well thought through interview process. Questions are for the most part directly assessing for the skills needed in the job. Various coding interviews, code review, architecture design, manager interview, discussion of resume experience, and mock interview and mock debrief are typical.
I applied online. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX) in Dec 2020
Interview
Multi-stage process: Resume Deep Dive, Architecture / System Design, Whiteboard / Coding, Code Review, Manager, Close. The recruiter did a great job guiding new through each phase. It was thorough, but not difficult. Employees from many departments and levels conducted the interviews and provided the results back upstream.

Question 1
I was asked to describe a large project I participated in during several stages. This served as the example project for follow up questions, so choose wisely.
