I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Indeed
Interview
First I applied via employee referral. Then I had an initial screening call which was very positive.
I explicitly thanked the recruiter for giving me a concrete timeline in which I would hear from her, whether or not I got the position. She told me I should hear back in about two weeks.
After two weeks went by, I sent her an email to check in. It's the summer so I understand that things are slow, people are on vacation, etc. She apologized for the slowness and told me I should be hearing back about potentially getting a second interview "soon."
Then another month elapsed. I sent her another email to ask for an update. Radio silence. It has now been two additional weeks since I emailed her and I have received no response, not even an OOO autoresponder.

Tell me about a time you had to make a decision that required out of the box thinking.
The interview process was well-structured and smooth, facilitating clear communication and engagement. Each stage flowed seamlessly, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of candidates' qualifications and fit. Overall, it was an effective and positive experience for all involved.

Estimation; product analytics and estimation questions all asked
6 rounds of interviews, too many interviews to receive a job offer and way too many interviews to make a final decision, should be 3 tops, kept adding another interview at end
I applied for Indeed a while ago and had a good interview process. I got to talk to HR, the hiring manager and potential future team members. It was prior to the pandemic, so I had 5 interviews at their location in Austin and saw the office building.
