Interview
This company's practices were an insult to my intelligence.
I was contacted to schedule testing one night for a position that had been open for more than thirty days. (Yes, the email was sent at night.) I responded with time preferences and received an email the next morning (shortly after the start of business hours) that said they had received a lot of applications from more qualified applicants in the meantime. I responded because that obviously didn't happen. In return, I was told that the recruiter who sent that email was not in the same office as the position and had no responsibility for filling the position, and therefore they still were interested in keeping my candidacy going. They also said they were "investigating" how the rejection was sent.
I tested the next week; hours before my test started, they re-advertised the position. I took the test anyway, not expecting anything to come from it. The test itself was not as advertised. What was advertised was four questions that would test my foreign language skills. It turned out to be two items in English (testing my knowledge of the company and its products), one writing exercise in the foreign language, and a translation. Only one of the "questions' was a question.
And did I mention that the test sheet had a couple of grammar errors on it? If you're testing my writing, please show me that you have enough knowledge of writing to compose something correctly without the stringent time limit that is placed on test-takers. I hope they have a good writer evaluating these tests.
The expected rejection letter came a few days later and it contained more writing issues. I responded to ask for feedback and was told that none could be given, "as you expected," an expectation I had never expressed.
I did apply for a second job there right after receiving the final rejection just because I qualified for it and like the company's product (and need a job). Indeed runs a good website, but its HR practices are among the worst I've come across.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The translation.
The passage came from their terms of service, I think, and they prohibited the use of "outside sources" such as dictionaries or what not. Let's review: any translator worth their salt will consult dictionaries to ensure a quality product and many translation houses require their new hires to be proficient with translation software that ensures vocabulary consistency and the like. Even native speakers of a language would use these outside sources on the job. So... the translation exercise was doable if the grading standards were low-ish, but it could not have been an accurate predictor of success on the job.

Interview
The interview process was very long but contrary to the other reviews here I found it to be very enjoyable. Every interviewer made me feel comfortable and was very nice. I heard back from each one quickly and the recruiter was great!
First were general questions followed by a writing exercise which was very demanding but not hard. If you know your target country's language it should not be a problem.
After that was a one-on-one interview which was also fairly hard but enjoyable.
Then I was scheduled for 3 1/2hours on Skype to interview with different people. Program manager, country manager and other associate country managers. everyone was extremely nice and I felt like I was in the right spot already.
I heard back within a couple of days and accepted the offer.
My tip to people applying - do not make yourself crazy. Just really learn what Indeed offers: How they make money, how their website in the target country works, competitors, a little SEO/SEM etc.

Interview
This was a long drawn out process - over a month without getting to the in person interview. First they ask you about biographical information especially relating to the country. Then there is a hour writing test about technology, why you would make a good fit, and what is annoying about applying to jobs. After passing this there is a friendly chat with a kind recruiter with, as stated, math questions and facts about the company. Don't let them get your hopes up.
After all this there is a 45 minute Skype call, which was completely different from the "we're a nice company that only wants talented nice people" attitude. The interviewer seemed uninterested, bored, and went through the motions without responding to any of the answers or try and make an effort to explain the role. People from other office rooms kept popping in to laugh with the interviewer about outside work. Overall, this was disappointing as they didn't bother to make a connection...leaving me inflated and unsure about wanting to work there in the first place.

Interview
As mentioned by previous answers, the process is writing exercise, phone screen with recruiter, skype interview with manager and on-site interview. All the people I met are friendly and polite. The whole process took 2 weeks. They moved very fast with me maybe because I'm a local candidate. If you have plan to apply this position, be prepared to face-to-face math question and estimation question. There are a lot of them. And of cause, research indeed product before any interview, try different feature and think about every thing they have on the indeed website. This is important to show that you are prepared to the company and this position.
