Interview
Didn't even bother to read my cv and cover paper. They said that they already went to the next step and that my internship wasn't approved with no given reason.
I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (Madison, WI) in Jun 2022
Interview
Interview process was straightforward and well outlined by the recruiter.
It starts with an initial screening with the recruiter to determine if you are a good fit. If they think you are your recruiter will extend you the opportunity to do a Karat interview.
This is a Leetcode style virtual interview outsourced to a third party (Karat) rather than performed by Indeed themselves. Working in Karat's text editor you are asked to solve progressively harder problems in a short time window (50 minutes). Aim to solve 3 but at a minimum you should solve 2 completely (I only solved 2). After this, Karat will provide Indeed with a video of the interview as well as their recommendation. The perk of them doing it this way is that if you felt that you didn't do so well on the first try you can opt to take it again.
Finally, if Indeed is happy with those results they will ask you to perform a virtual onsite. This consists of 4-5 back to back interviews with various members of various teams (usually 2-3 interviewers per call). My super day had two Indeed led whiteboard sessions, one 'progex,' and one resume deep dive. The whiteboard sessions were not very hard and the interviewer gave you lots of direction to help you get the best answer. The Progex was a longer session (I think 105 minutes) and asked you to build some work related program. You are expected to finish this and pass all of the test cases, but honestly I ran out of time and don't think mine even compiled -- that said focus on writing good, clean, and thorough code and even if it doesn't compile they will evaluate how you did. Finally the resume review was your basic behavior interview trying to discover some good project/leadership experience. Definitely go into detail here about what you specifically have done to build software in teams.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The progex question asked you to devise a program that would perform a fuzzy search of job posts. Fuzzy search meaning the top 10 job posting having the most matching key words. The input will give you x job postings to load in and cache and y job searches to find and output to the screen the best job postings for each search.
At the end you are asked some follow up questions about runtime and how you would improve this moving forward.
