I applied online. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX) in Jul 2017
Interview
The initial steps were great. Sara, a recruiter reached out to me for an initial call. She was prompt and helpful. We set up an onsite interview. The interview itself was 90 minutes, with 3 different directors. All the directors, Trey, Andrew and Danny were nice, easy going people.
The interview were relatively easy: why sales? Why indeed? tell me about your professional backgroud. And then they opened it up for q&a.
Plenty of positive affirmation during the interview and good feedback. We exchanged business cards...
Then after the interviews were over, I sent thank you's and heard nothing back. A week went by and I followed up with the recruiter...nothing. Then I reached out to directors, 4 weeks after the interview and received an automated reply saying: "Thank you for your interest. At this time we’ve decided to move forward with other candidates for this role. A number of factors went into this decision, namely the size and quality of the candidate pool."
Nice touch. I understand it's a large company, but I had reached out to HR and the directors emails and they couldn't muster up a personal reply?
For a company that is focused on the job market, it was really disappointing to see how they handle their own prospects.
I would not recommend interviewing here, if you do...be sure to have other irons in the fire.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Indeed (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2017

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you decide whether building a new feature is a good idea, should we do it or not?
I applied online. I interviewed at Indeed (Dublin, Dublin) in Aug 2015
Interview
Interview process started with a phone call from the recruitment department within a few days of sending CV. Here we had an open conversation about my experience to date and why I wanted to be further considered by Indeed.
Once I got through this I was interviewed face to face by a sales director and Team lead.
Here we again discussed my background, career goals and future.
After this we did a sales simulation which was given to me before the interview.
