I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal in Feb 2018
Interview
I received an email from a recruiter to schedule a phone interview with the hiring manager. I had the interview a week later which lasted about 35 minutes. About a week later, the recruiter reached out to me again to schedule a second round of two back to back 45 minute Skype interviews.
I was told in the email asking me to do a second round that interviews would be behavioral. When I was emailed the confirmation email a day before the interview, I asked for more clarification on what to expect from each interviewer but neither the recruiter nor recruiting coordinator responded to me.
The day of the interview, only about 10% of the questions for each interview were behavioral, so of course I went into the interviews quite unprepared. Whether this was due to poor communication or an intentional stress test I don't know.
I did not receive any further contact from the recruiter after the second round and was only sent an automated email 2 weeks later stating that the they were no longer reviewing applicants.
Very friendly and simple, some behavioral and technical interviews. Technical interviews were not difficult and were more applicability based than standard LeetCode problems. Interviewers were very welcoming and helped when needed.
