The overall experience was positive, consisting of a HackerRank coding test, followed by an HR interview. This was followed by additional rounds of technical interviews, which assessed both skills and problem-solving abilities.

Got contacted by an inside recruiter for the specific position while I happened to be looking at a couple places already. Initial round was via Karat, which was fast-paced but straightforward. Got set up the next day with a day-long interview a week and a half later, which had a variety of sessions, including some solving problems on whiteboard, a mock code review, a data design task and a totally-automated programming exercise on HackerRank as well as talking with the hiring manager about the position. Really liked all the people I interviewed with and the problems were not easy but not overly tricky. I could imagine I could have gotten stuck on any of the problems in the interview, but they all happened to click and I got lots of good signs about the position and Indeed. I heard back a few days later with the official offer. I was interviewing somewhere else in Austin that I didn't actually want to work but I suspected would give a competitive offer, but they passed on me, so I asked for more salary and ended up getting more bonus, which made it a nice increase from my comp at another Austin tech company. The interview got me really excited to work in the position and be a part of Indeed, so I accepted and have been very glad I did.
