I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2011
Interview
This was a group of Paypal folks and interviewers were pretty casual at the same time knowledgeable. I could feel the passion in their pulse. Also everybody looked very laid back and did not show stress on their faces which was most important to me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were a couple of on the go questions from the manager. These were not typical questions and he didn't really expect the correct answer but just wanted to know how I thought. From what I remember one was the way I would think to use quadratic equations to solve a daily problem. I don't remember the other one.
The process took 3 months. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2011
Interview
I got contacted by a recruiter back in Nov. We setup a time to talk, and then 2 phone interviews. One of them was primarily focused on Java. The other interviewer was more interested in general problem solving abilities, and my knowledge and experience with data mining. Both phone interviews went well and I was invited to an on-site interview.
I interviewed on-site for a couple of hours with 5 people and had lunch with the hiring manager. All interviewers were very nice to me and seemed interest in my experience and projects.
A week later I received a call from the recruiter saying they were giving me an offer. We went through the details and I accepted it. A few days later I was asked to complete all the necessary paperwork, including background check and references. Everything was fine up to that point. Then a new recruiter took over this hiring and we discussed relocation details etc.
A few days passed, then weeks, and I kept calling the recruiter to ask why I haven't gotten anything. The recruiter gave me different versions about the story, including that they were processing my offer letter. I've called them several times for many days and they sometimes answer the phone and say something different but never call me back.
To say the least, I am very disappointed. I declined two other job offers while I was going through this process, thinking I had a job. Now that I declined the other job offers, the recruiter doesn't even call me to tell me what happened to the job offer. Extremely unprofessional.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at eBay (San Jose, CA) in Aug 2011
Interview
Got a call from recruiter.
First was a phone screening which went well.
Second phone was horrible :
Interviewer was not at all interested in taking interview, inspite of all the correct answers he gave a negative feedback.
He was looking frustrated and was in super hurry looked like he was on a coffee break while taking interview.
Did complaint to recruiter ..
