I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX) in Feb 2015
Interview
45 minutes' on campus interview and then on-site interview in Austin. After the on campus interview, I got an email saying I have passed the other day. There are 4 rounds of coding when on-site, of which 3 are whiteboard and 1 is on computer. Whiteboard is 1 hour each and on-computer is 1.5 hours. The on-computer one is in Linux system, but don't panic if you have no experience, as they provide detailed instructions for how to submit the code, etc. But it does take some time to read, that is why 1.5 hours are given.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
campus question is first reverse a string and then reverse only words in a string.
validate python codes. Python is validated by the indents before each line of code, so given a vector of strings (line of code), validate if it meets python requirement. I remember there are 4 basic rules provided. The solution is to use a stack. Not a hard problem.
Given a linked list, of which all the nodes have an array of integers, as well as the current number of ints in that array, write two functions. The first one is get a number of a specific index, the second one is to insert a number at certain index. Not a hard problem but be careful with edge cases.
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.

Question 1
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.
