So, I had an interesting experience interviewing at Indeed and was wondering what people think might have happened.

I got an on-site, did ok in the interview but felt I could have had a stronger performance on the coding section. Recruiter called after getting hiring feedback to say that it was barely a pass, but that there was a product developer role that they would be open to me applying for with a shorter loop.

I inquired about this role a couple of days later. Never did hear back from the recruiter and eventually got an automated rejection email for that role as well.

Couple of questions:

1. What exactly is a product developer role at Indeed?

2. What gives with the rejection/ glimmer of hope / double rejection deal here? Is that pretty common to experience at companies?

  • Likely what happened was the team interviewed you, debriefed together, said no for the role you interviewed for but talked about you potentially being a good candidate for the other team. The recruiter then, before checking to make sure, told you’d be good to go with this other team so he wouldn’t lose you. They probably sent you the rejection email to avoid an awkward phone call/an honest conversation.

    I don’t know what a product developer at Indeed does, but my guess is you were working with either a jr recruiter or a bad one. Either way, not a great experience, I’m sorry you went through that.

    Product developers are SWE for internal business tools. They do a lot of automation for large scale models.

    Product developer roles depend on the team. Some in Vancouver are leading new products and testing new business verticals.
