I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Contacted after I signed up for Indeed's Prime recruiting service. Had a homework assignment analyzing a dataset, then a very easy phone screen, half programming, half data science questions. Finally, an in person interview: this had a programming session with an interviewer, a lengthier individual programming assignment, a data science session (pretty much the same questions as the phone screen), and a statistics session. The in-person interview was much harder than the phone screen, but still easier than other interviews I've had. All the programming was in Python.
They were very fast getting through the whole process, which was nice. I was worried about work/life balance here so didn't pursue the opportunity.
How would you design a ML model for Zillow's Zestimate? (This was more of a conversation than a question, many subquestions working through different stages from data collection, feature selection, training, validating, implementing, and updating)
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX) in Nov 2015
Interview
After I applied online, I got an email from a recruiter asking few questions about my eligibility to work in the U.S and few other basic questions about my background in the country targeted. After replying to that email, I got a reply after about 5 days asking if I was free for a writing exercise. The exercise was quite difficult and I just finished on time. There were questions very specific to the company. Few days later I was informed that I passed that stage and was asked fora phone interview. The phone interview had even more specific questions about the company; I feel it is not correct on their part to expect an entry level candidate to know so many things about their company. I passed the phone interview and was interviewed by the hiring manager. This interview was more in depth questions about indeed and how one can improve things at indeed. There were math questions that I thought I did well. Never heard back from them. For the salary they are offering, I think they are expecting a little too much.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (Hyderabad) in Nov 2015
Interview
first round by skype :(hyderabad) -> 1) three algorithm question like mirror of tree, anagram, and one more from tree.
second round by skype@hyderabad -> 2) again three algorithm question nothing new typical DS and algo question.
third round skype@dublin -> 3) asked me to scrap a some job website using 'js'. I was new to 'js' so it was an open ended problem just to check , how i deal with new tech. after the interview, I asked them for the feedback for like two weeks and on third week they gave me the feedback that due to network connectivity and technology difference of interviewer and mine they were not able to judge me properly. So after 3 weeks they schedule another interview.
fourth round skype @dublin and hyderabad -> again scrapping another website, this time I hav to use express js, which was new to me. It was one hour task. I did my best. But by this time I already got a job from another company so never bothered to call for the feedback, and it has been around a month they have not sent any mail or call like u r rejected or selected.
Their hiring HR is not reachable most of the time.
