Indeed Software Engineer interview questions

The interview process starts with a typical thirty minute phone screen. The second step is a timed coding test conducted by a third party, Karat, over video chat and a text editor in a web browser. Karat conducts the interview as an impartial third party in an attempt to avoid any bias in the technical interview process. However, the content of the questions is dictated by Indeed. There was 10 minutes of general knowledge questions and then 50 minutes to solve three progressively more difficult questions. The questions build on top of each other to further implement more of the overall final complete solution. It was a terrible experience which was to be expected after finding out that it was a short time block for the process with someone staring over your shoulder. The only people that are going to pass this sort of test are those that only spend their free time practicing reimplementing algorithms from scratch.

First a live coding round and the onsite interview. Interviewers were not knowledgeable. I never quite understood what kind of candidates were they looking for. They were looking for candidates who will just throw away answers at them . If you are discussing a solution with them , they will think taht you dont know the solution. First of all, design questions are open ended questions. There is no perfect answer there. Honestly i felt let down by interviewers. The compa y must not waste time of candidates if they are just looking to pass their time . Rather do some real programming work. I work in one of the worlds most paying companies and still agreed to come to interview because one recruiter was nice, but interviews were a let down. Dear interviewers, its very easy to judge and not hire people. If you are going with a mindset of not hiring people, dont waste candidates time. Use your time with some real work instead. And remember, you have started one of the worlds biggest companies, you arr just a normal worker at a small compang
