      Strategic Market Insights Interview

      16 Feb 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal in Dec 2021

      Interview

      Contacted by recruiter for the role, had initial conversation and was then set up with team lead. Spoke with hiring manager for 30min initial conversation and then contacted 1-2 days later by department head for interview and spoke with department head for 45min, agreed to move forward. Contacted by recruiter to talk compensation and logistics, negotiated what was a lowball offer (less than I currently made) and I countered with something a bit higher. Recruiter said they would follow up in 1-2 days. Completely ghosted and never heard back. Emailed recruiter, hiring manager and department lead each 1-2 times over a several week period and never received a single response. Incredibly rude and unprofessional. After multiple conversations with several people in the firm the least they could do is provide a "thanks but no thanks". Ghosting is completely unprofessional and a terrible thing to do to candidates. There is no valid reason a simple generic email response cannot be provided. Lowball offers, track record of ghosting, and the stock has plummeted - avoid.
