An Indeed recruiter contacted me to apply for a specific role and I went through their lengthy hiring process. It took ~3 weeks from start to finish and despite doing well on the majority of the interviews, I was ghosted. No responses to my follow-ups. It's been over 3 weeks since finalizing the process so it's safe to say that they have no intention of extending an offer.
The people that I interacted with throughout the interview process were great and I got a good impression about the people who work at Indeed. However, I can't recommend anyone invest their time going through this process when they don't respect the time and effort that candidates have to go through to MAYBE get an offer. If it's not a good fit, they should have the decency to communicate that effectively.

* ProEx: You're given job postings and search queries. Match the best job posting based on the query and sort depending on some constraints.
* Whiteboard: Found the equivalent on LC. It was Moving Average from Data Stream but with minor modifications. Be prepared to discuss implementation and go into more details about optimizations.
* Resume Deep Dive: Be prepared to go into detail about a project that you've worked on. Did get follow-up questions but that depends on the conversation, make sure that you know why things were implemented and the tradeoffs. Did not go through my entire resume.
* Code Review: You get a "sample" pull request and review it as if you're reviewing a junior's code. You choose the programming language. There are bugs to find but the rest is open-ended such as syntax, naming conventions, etc.
Only did the 1st round. It was a medium Leetcode question. The interview was only for 30 min. Their compiler threw an unexpected error, which even the interviewers couldn't fix

Terrible scheduling. Difficult company to deal with. Will not contact again. Pay was below industry average for the location. Misleading job description. Benefits below standard. Hope everyone avoids this place
In total, there were five interviews. Three of them were more technical and the other two or more about your background. The technical interviews were pretty standard simple to medium Leetcode questions.

I was asked about how we kept metrics in my previous job. When I told him that this was something we didn’t really do, he continued to harp on this question for the entirety of the interview, as if it was something that would be very difficult for me to learn.
