      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at eBay (Los Angeles, CA) in Dec 2014

      Interview

      Phone screener, I interviewed with a manager and it lasted about 45minutes. Overall it was a great experience, it was pretty straight forward. However, it depends on the person interviewing you.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe your process? What is a project you were proud of?
      Answer question
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA)

      Interview

      Contacted by a sourcer via email. I expressed interest in the role, and she set me up with a phone interview with the recruiter. The sourcer gave me a heads-up that it might be a couple of weeks before I was contacted by the recruiter, and it took about that long. I had an initial phone interview with the recruiter for about 30 minutes. I was then set up with another phone interview with a 'peer of the position' - not the hiring manager. Talked to the peer for about 30 minutes and things seemed to go okay. About two weeks later, the recruiter contacted me to set up an in-person interview and to give me a written design test. (I was given two pages and asked to redesign them.) I was then brought in for an in-person interview with two of the role's colleagues and the hiring manager. The time with the two colleagues was roughly 15 minutes each. We reviewed my design test and I explained my decision-making process around each design choice. They didn't really ask me anything about my background. The interview with the hiring manager was last, and lasted for about 30 minutes. She didn't want to see the design tests, nor did she ask me a single question about my background. She did, however, talk non-stop about herself and the company. I mean, literally, non-stop. She didn't even pause for breath. I kept looking for an opening so I could find out more about the role, how it fit in with the organization's strategy, how I would be working with other departments, etc., but without raising my hands in semaphore, or jumping to my feet and shouting her down, it wasn't going to happen. We ran over 5 minutes (um, she finally stopped talking when she realized that we were 5 minutes over), and she excused herself, saying she had to run to another meeting. I did not get to ask a single question, nor were any questions asked of me. I did not expect anything to come of this interview, because how could they possibly know anything about me after that? However, I was contacted by the recruiter about 3 weeks later with an offer. Which I accepted. And it's not working out. Warning: if the hiring manager leaves all the heavy lifting to other people, they probably aren't going to be that great of a manager. Lesson learned.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Nothing was really 'difficult.' I explained my design decisions and that was about it. If you have this type of test, make sure all of your decisions are based on research or some sort of solid decision-making tree, so that you can defend your work.
