The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Indeed (Singapore) in Jan 2022
Interview
Company culture and interviewers are snobbish. They admit they don’t even have a foothold in SEA and yet their attitude is holier-than-thou. One interviewer who barely was in the company for one year provided no guidance and scoffed at my answers. Hiring Manager kept asking for current compensation even though it was clear they did not want to make any offer and even admitted that they are here to collect market data. Stay away from this self-righteous company without any concrete plan of beating LinkedIn and barely making a dent in SEA. It was an absolute waste of time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1 round of offshored coding by external party, 2 rounds of coding, 1 round of system design, 1 round of code review
Only did the 1st round. It was a medium Leetcode question. The interview was only for 30 min. Their compiler threw an unexpected error, which even the interviewers couldn't fix
Terrible scheduling. Difficult company to deal with. Will not contact again. Pay was below industry average for the location. Misleading job description. Benefits below standard. Hope everyone avoids this place
In total, there were five interviews. Three of them were more technical and the other two or more about your background. The technical interviews were pretty standard simple to medium Leetcode questions.

Question 1
I was asked about how we kept metrics in my previous job. When I told him that this was something we didn’t really do, he continued to harp on this question for the entirety of the interview, as if it was something that would be very difficult for me to learn.
