Interview
The full hiring process takes place over a few weeks. First there is a small half-hour interviewer with your recruiter. If that goes well you proceed to 2 online videochat interviews. One covering business questions, and the other covering coding questions. If you proceed from here, next is an onsite interview which they will provide transportation for. This session is 3 hours long and consist of another business interview, coding interview, personality interview, and lunch. Finally, if you proceed from here you will have a phone call with a higher-up. A few days after the call I was told I wouldn't be receiving an offer.

Interview
I had a phone interview with HR. Got into the second round, in which I expected easy coding questions as per the reviews on Glassdoor. The experience was really horrible. Firstly the zoom video platform didn't work. Secondly, it was live coding on codility which was really unexpected as I wasn't informed about earlier. The questions were really tough considering this role.

Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter in mid November of 2018. She told me to give her dates for the end of November to interview but set up a phone interview a month later at the end of December. The first phone interview was a technical interview regarding algorithms and data structures - typical stuff you'd see in a software interview. I passed this stage and the recruiter called me immediately to schedule a follow up phone interview.
The second phone interview was a business interview in that they asked about Indeed's business model, competitor analysis, and product improvements. After the interview, the interviewer told me I'd hear back in a day or so.
Fast forward 2 weeks and I still don't have any feedback. The person who interviewed me was not the person that was listed in the scheduling email. I emailed the recruiter about this and she didn't seem to know that I had already finished my interview and who it was that actually interviewed me. She told me she'd get back to me with feedback. A few days later, she told me there was feedback and scheduled a phone call with me but never called. I emailed her to follow up but she did not respond to that either. She eventually got back to me with a no, and said I needed a deeper knowledge. However, this was unexpected as the interview feedback I got during the interviews was that I did well.
The entire experience just seemed very unprofessional and a waste of time considering it took from November to January for 2 phone interviews, followed by weeks of waiting and a missed meeting by the recruiter. This is especially apparent as I was going through the Google interview process and onsite at the same time. The Google process and recruiters were just so much more on the ball.
