Indeed APM On-site
Hi Indeed/Blind, I have an upcoming Associate Product Management final interview with Indeed. I believe I have the skills and the experience, but I really don't know what to expect and how to prep for the final round. Can anyone share their experience interviewing at Indeed? or maybe What to expect in a PM final round? - the best way to prepare for these kinds of interviews? Thanks! #indeed #productmanagement #apm
How much experience and skills can you have if you’re applying for an APM role? Real question, not being a troll. Usually APMs at indeed are recent college grads
Yah, I meant I have the skills needed for the APM position. I have done three PM internships and build my own product, so I would like to assume that I have some experience haha
Ps- indeed is an incredible company to work for and the product org gets paid very well
Don't join Indeed if you have other options. Please. It is a career killer. I feel such deep regret and anxiety for how it derailed my career. Companies in Silicon Valley/ tech people think Indeed is a joke. Seriously we have internal research on this. Product is all about tiny iterations and no real innovation happens. Unless you count the "chat" feature or "video interview" that's in incubator in the year 2021. You start on projects that continuously get derailed due to the reorg of the month.
Indeed is a shit company and is certainly a career killer, but might not be horrible for someone's first 1-2 years of their career. Just know that there isn't much to learn at Indeed beyond the basics and go in knowing that there are much better ways to do things. The only thing product-wise Indeed does beyond the bare minimum is being heavily data-driven, but even then, how they do it is ass backwards... they do more metrics than some companies I suppose. The clock is ticking for Indeed to become irrelevant, just think of it as getting an APM job with Yahoo or eBay. A known brand, but hasn't done anything significant aside from their main product, and increasingly becoming a laughingstock in the tech industry.
hey OP, did you receive and sign the offer? if so, would you mind if I dm you to ask about your app/interview experience?
Baaaaaaack when I was starting my career I almost made a mistake and joined Indeed lol. There was an annoying VP who asked about how google ads worked, how you’d track an email and if it’s opened or not. Super specific questions and coming from a VP were red flags. I’d pass
I think they changed so much these days, and I don't have a lot of options :"D
