I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX) in Jan 2018
Interview
I found the job posting on indeed.com, I applied, within a week a recruiter emailed me to setup a 30-minute phone interview, then there was a 1-hour phone interview with QA engineers, then there was a 4-hour, on-site series of interviews with QA engineers and software developers.
The first 2 phone interviews went pretty smoothly, most of the questions were about myself, and my interest in Indeed. The on-site interviews were more challenging, there were some technical questions about SQL, API's, and browser cookies. There were several open-ended questions like "how would you test this web form?" Once at both phone interviews, and once on-site I was asked how I would test a random object like a coffee mug, or box of x-mas lights. For this type of role it seemed like they really want someone thorough who thinks outside the box and looks at things from all possible angles.

Interview
First, they email you and let you know they're super interested. Then they schedule a block of time for you to receive a phone call via Mixmax.
Then, you wait.
When the time comes that you're supposed to receive the phone call you give them the benefit of the doubt. It's a time frame right? They could call at the tail end. But it isn't coming. Not even an email. They never called me. They never emailed me to let me know anything changed. No communication whatsoever.
