      Database Engineering Manager Interview

      20 May 2012
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal in Jan 2012

      Interview

      The process started with me seeing a job advertisement on LinkedIn, then reaching out to a contact who already worked in that company. Through that contact, provided my resume and within a day or two, received my first phone screening call from the hiring manager. My interview with the team was set up the very next day and took place within a day or two after that. It was half an hour each on a 1:1 basis with six different persons, covering both management and technical topics. A couple of weeks later was asked to speak to 3 different persons on the phone - each of which was 30 minutes long once again. Verbal offer came through in a day or two from that point and written offer was also pretty quick, right after a background check process that was well facilitated by the company's talent scouting team.
