I applied online. I interviewed at Indeed in Dec 2020
Interview
Karat technical screening interview, followed by a HackerRank and various back-to-back technical interviews in a two-hour period.
The technical interviews were oddly difficult and seemed to have little relation with the role I would take in the company. I was able to answer them, but even so, the interviewers looked exhausted and lacked enthusiasm.
At the end, I asked them what kinds of projects new grad hires would work on; the interviewer told me that they get placed in another part of the company, working on what seem to be dead-end projects with each other for three months. Even if I did get an offer, I don't think I would work at a company that doesn't understand what it wants from its new hires.

They contacted me within a few days and were more than pleasant. First step: an online coding test. This questions wasn't hard if you do the practice test before. The practice test is really hard. I would suggest doing the day day before, and studying a little bit more. Second step: phone interview. The interview was pleasant. They asked me a ton about my project to get the feel of what my work preferences are, and then we moved on to a technical question. The question was easy, the interviewer was trying to understand my thought process. he asked about few improvements and then asked about the run time, and space complexity.
