Interview
I ended up applying for their virtual hiring event. In order to get a slot for the event there was a pre assessment that checked for grammar and punctuations. The interviewer was very personable it felt like a conversation. She asked me what I knew about the role (make sure to actually read the description & research). I was able to tell she was used to having to fully explain what the role was but I basically told her and she was impressed. It was basic behavioral questions in the 30 minute window. I got an email the next week scheduling me for a second interview with the manager and director. This also felt very conversational as well with very good rapport, I didn’t even have to use an elevator pitch/tell me about yourself throughout the whole process! My advice is to know how to answer situational questions but make them personable to your life so they can see your character.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Indeed in Nov 2021
Interview
I went through an HR screen, technical screen through Karat, and a virtual onsite interview.
HR screen involved talking over my background, why I wanted to leave my current job, what I was looking for, etc.
The Karat technical screen is a third-party interview where LeetCode-esque questions are asked. I suggest checking there for preparation.
The virtual onsite consisted of a code review, whiteboard, "progex", and resume deep dive. Progex is Indeed's longer programming exercise which simulates more of an actual programming task, where you have a programming environment and interviewers turn off their cameras/mics.
Overall, the experience was good and all of the questions were reasonable. My only complaint is that I thought I did well on all parts of the interviews, but was rejected via a vague and generalized automated email. My recruiter did not follow-up and I was provided zero feedback.
After putting in as much time as I did, the least I'd expect was some kind of response from my recruiter. Not really a good impression coming from a company that "helps people get jobs".
