I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at PayPal (Singapore) in Aug 2022
Interview
I applied in early August 2022. There were 3 rounds in total, 1 OA round, 1 technical round, and 1 behavioral round. Pros: It was easy to talk to the interviewers as they were friendly and approachable. Cons: Still waiting for the final interview results for over a month plus. I think the communication could have been improved if they had informed us earlier that the slots had been filled up.
