I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX) in Nov 2018
Interview
Panel Presentation with a group of product managers whose methodologies are stuck 20 years in the past. Despite the age of the members, its a group who think so little towards delivering actual impact that it shows why their site looks like it's 20 years old.
Everything is so focused on data in the A/B testing it makes the interview an awkward grouping of uninispired drones looking for methodologies taught in business school. Its not an interview to see what ideas you may have to create impact, its a test completely avoid of out of the box thinking to make sure the candidates keep the status quo.

Question 1
Estimation; product analytics and estimation questions all asked
6 rounds of interviews, too many interviews to receive a job offer and way too many interviews to make a final decision, should be 3 tops, kept adding another interview at end
I applied for Indeed a while ago and had a good interview process. I got to talk to HR, the hiring manager and potential future team members. It was prior to the pandemic, so I had 5 interviews at their location in Austin and saw the office building.
