Great experience with my phone interviews for Indeed! The recruiters were pleasant and friendly and it felt more like a conversation than and interview. I’m looking forward to moving along in the process and hopefully working for the company.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (New York, NY)
Interview
It is a very organized process but unfortunately Indeed does not value your time or money. I was offered an on-site interview after a very promising phone interview, in which I had to miss time from my current job which I don’t get paid for, and commute to NYC which cost almost 30 dollars round trip. Then I interviewed with two people, the first one going very well, while the second one was clearly the manager going through the motions and rushing through it in a way that made me feel like it was just a formality.
In the future, I suggest that Indeed seriously take into account their candidates time and money when asking them to come in for their onsite interviews, especially when the initial phone interview is held over a week before the onsite meeting. I basically spent over 100 dollars (taking into account money lost from missing work and commuting costs) to go to an interview that was very clearly an unnecessary formality with the hiring managers already having another candidate in mind.

Interview
In my experience Indeed seems to push heavily on employees to recruit and use them as a referral. I'm a member of a local job group and an Indeed employee posted about using them as a referral but this person did not follow up so I ended up waiting several days to the point where I just ended up putting the resume in myself.
I get the phone screen email to schedule an interview through some booking site. Well my original time gets pushed back and I don't find this out until several days after the change occurred. I looked to the booking site to see if I can get in sooner. I get the call and the person doing the screening isn't even in Austin, she is based in Connecticut but that's a different story. She says that she is going to speak to the hiring manager for my area to get an in-person interview but then waits a day to say that it isn't going to happen at all. If you didn't want to move forward just tell me.
