I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed in Jul 2021
Interview
The interview process was tedious. I went through 5 interview stages altogether and there were 2 interviewers for each stage. Each interview had technical exercises that are intended to evaluate the candidate's proficiency.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to write an automation script for one of their product pages.
Zunächst musste ich einen Fragebogen im Beisein einer Personaldienstleisterin ausfüllen. Unter Anderem auch Fragen zu meinem Gesundheitszustand. Im Anschluss gab es ein steifes Gespräch mit einem Kollegin und der Geschäftsführerin. Ich bin froh, dass sie sich nicht für mich entschieden haben.

Question 1
Ob ich bereit bin, einmal in der Woche die Pausenzeiten, die an 4 Tagen in der Woche nicht eingerechnet wurden, raus zuarbeiten. Das heißt, einmal in der Woche bis 20:00 arbeiten. Es ist immer noch die Stempelkarte im Einsatz.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Indeed in Aug 2021
Interview
The interview process is very fast-paced. 3 rounds of technical interviews (mostly DSA is asked) followed by a manager round. Interviews last for about 60-70 minutes depending on the interviewer. The final manager round lasted 40 mins.

Question 1
Q1. Given a binary tree, compact the space required. The point is that a tree node contains a (4 bytes of data, 4 bytes of left pointer, 4 bytes of right pointer). Therefore, to store 4 bytes of data, you require 12 bytes.
Q2. A lot of questions on tree and graph traversal algorithms and the differences between them, with a lot of emphasis on time complexities.
Q3. Given an array “cleanTitles” consisting of titles such as “Software Engineer”, “Mechanical Engineer” and so on. You are then provided with a “rawTitle” for eg, “Require a software engineer, paying $10000”. You are supposed to find which cleanTitle that has the most overlapping words (this is the scoring function) and then return that clean title.
