The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX) in Oct 2011
Interview
1 hour interview divided among two team members for 30 mins each. They went over the resume, discussed projects, what kinda technologies i like. Have you used Indeed? If you were to improve/implement a feature for Indeed.com what it would be?
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Dont remember it exactly..but sth like if you are given a very large sorted int array then check of there exists a pair whose sum is equal to the two parameters a and b passed to the function.
The second guy asked a ques about associative arrays. Something like, if you are given a couple of arrays..iterate through them against certain match (dont remember exactly) and generate an associative array based on it. basically, first array would contain a set of all possible 'keys' and second would contain 'values'.
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.
