I applied online. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX) in Oct 2020
Interview
I did not complete the entire interview process, only two rounds. The first round was a screening with a recruiter and pleasant overall. The second interview was with my potential manager and peer/another manager. I got the impression that my potential peer/another manager seemed interested in the interview and asked the most questions. My potential manager, on the other hand, seemed a little more interested in eating his sandwhich/s and didn't ask too many questions (if any).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a recent project you led and describe your architecture decisions from end-to-end?
Initial phone screen, skype interview with hiring manager. I believe this will differ with every department excluding the recruitment team phone screen/interview. They were all encompassing in question types and really want to know you as an individual and your style of work
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Indeed in Sep 2017
Interview
Really organized at the start, but towards the end was not getting regular feedback and had to chase up the hiring manager to get an update on my application. In total it lasted just over 2 months comprising 4 interviews and a writing task. Worst of all I had 3 great interviews with what would have been my new boss and new coworkers but at the last minute a senior manager decided to interview me and they decided I wasn't fit for the job - in fact between myself and the final candidate the job wasn't filled at all so they have to start the hiring process all over again. Worst of all according to them I was the favourite for the role, which is a huge shame as the senior manager who had their final interview with me would have not had any interaction with me (the boss and coworkers I interviewed with would have been my direct interaction) so it makes no sense that the person who denied me the role would have been the one person who would not have directly worked with me. I think this is a big problem with a huge organization, when combining two culturally different departments (e.g. US and Australia) each region has a completely different work lifestyle, and this needs to be addressed as disparities between either can lead to huge complications moving forward.
