I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Index.com (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2017
Interview
Applied online and got a initial phone screen with HR. Then it was an hour long technical screen about binary search. After that they brought me on-site and we went through 5 rounds of interviews. Four rounds were technical and one lunch interview. The interviews covered a lot of area of computer science, including tree traversal, object-oriented programming, linked list, cache, optimizing, and closest neighbour problem. I didn't do well on two of the four technical rounds, and got a call two days after that I did not pass the tech interviews. The problems are difficult but not undoable, so I am not really surprised with the rejection but a bit disappointed. It seemed like a very cool company and the engineers were friendly.
The interview process has two interview rounds.
1. Techincal Round - It was moreover java and spring framework basic questions. A person can manage small projects independently or not from requirement gathering, designing, development till delivery.
2. Hr Round
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In the technical interview round, most questions were around application designing and manage configuration in an excel sheet using the spring application.
They had a phone call then onsite. The phone call guy was chill and stuff. However, one person on the team who interviewed me on site was being kinda unfriendly and even elitist. I mean I was a bit nervous being my first full-time onsite interview and even if I said anything stupid I don't think she should have expressed that so obviously. She made my interview experience worse. Also they never reimbursed me like they said they would. I am unsure if it was just an accident but they still haven't replied to my emails.
