Had two phone screens and two rounds of in person interviews, 8 people in each round with friendly but aggressive questions from each interviewer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I got a few substantive questions that were a bit uninformed so it was difficult to answer those questions while delicately avoiding the fact the questioner had made some incorrect assumptions or facts.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at eBay in Nov 2011
Interview
Started out by applying online to a posting. Had a phone screen and 1:1 meeting with the HR recruiter who setup the initial phone interview with the hiring manager. 1 hour call with the hiring manager lead to onsite interviews with the manager and the position's peers within the organization. The interview questions dealt with how I would address issues related to the position, opportunties for personal improvement, career accomplishments and challenges, and management style. The people were very nice and personable, though one guy seemed to need a change in scenery. He has a long tenue with the company (10 years) but seems to be burned out from the body language and demeanor. They were pretty quick with the feedback so I did hear back after about a week or so.
