I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Indeed in Oct 2015
Interview
There Resume Shortlist, 1 online coding round, 3 technical interviews, 1 manager interview
The process was pretty good as well as stupid in some sense. Guys who clear all the technical rounds go for the manager round and first the manager rejects about 50% of the shortlisted people. Then based on the previous rounds, they select the best candidates.
Interview questions [4]
Question 1
Online round: 1 DSU question, 1 sorting question, 1 more ques which I don't remember
Interview 1: Given the following rules of python, write a compiler for it.
1st line has no margin on the left.
Each subsequent line has margin which is greater than or equal to the margin of any of the lines above it(as in python).
Each line which ends with a ‘:’ should have next line with alignment > the previous line (like function definition in python).
Report erroneous line number if any of this is violated.
Interview 2: You have a string of words and 2 given words. Find the shortest substring that has both the words. Print 6 preceding words before the first word and 6 succeeding words after the last word in the original string.
Ex. if the words are a & b, then the substring to be printed should be.
word1 word2 … word 6 a …. b word7 word 8 … word 12
He later asked me to extend it if we have 3 words a,b and c. And the substring should contain all the words.
Manager round: He asked me about my projects. Went pretty deep in what I had done in a previous internship, did not understand much as the work was mainly research related.

Interview
got an campus interview after submitting my resume at a career fair on campus. Talked to two interviewers, each asked about projects and experience listed on my resume, then one technical question. The questions were not hard, but they asked many follow ups regarding algorithm time complexity and how to improve it.
