I applied online. I interviewed at PayPal in May 2017
Interview
The phone screens are not very organized. The recruiter tells that there will be only technical questions asked and no coding exercised will be given. However, the interviewer asked coding exercise. I think it is better to prepare for all possibilities.

Question 1
He asked me a design question during phone screen (implementation). Since there were only 45 mins and he expected a working implementation I treated it like the normal coding exercise without going too much into various aspects of design details.
I had a recruiter call and they said they would send me a link to a Karat interview round in a week but I never received it. I mailed the recruiter multiple times but got no response or communication about it

I interviewed 2 round, one front end, one hire manager, but didn’t move forward. The hr is helpful, the hire manager round asked about system design questions, which I feel may cause the rejection.
