      Content Manager Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Singapore
      Accepted offer
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Aug 2012

      Interview

      Following 2 phone interviews, they invited me to fly to San Jose (on my own dime, which I had no qualms about) for a final 3 hour interview. The interview began with me meeting one on one with a member, before we were joined by a second person. After, the first person left, and so forth, until I met with the entire team. The interview itself was challenging but pleasant and I received positive feedback from all members. When I left, I felt encouraged by the members to consider myself as "in a good position" to receive an offer. I was told they wanted to move quickly and I was very excited about the possibility of a new job and moving to CA. The day after the interview, I sent an email to thank them (no response), then another a week later to discover if a decision had been made. The only response I heard back was, "Hi____, A few weeks." And that's it. Not only wasn't there an offer, I've never heard back from them since. All polite and timely (once a month) follow-up emails have been ignored. I finally emailed another on the team and didn't hear anything from her either. I am pretty frustrated and disappointed over the situation. I understand not landing the position, but to never contact a candidate that was encouraged to fly out for an interview, to be flat out ignored, is pretty unprofessional and I would expect more from such a large company.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (Singapore)

      Interview

      HR arranged an initial phone interview with the hiring manager. Thereafter, I was invited to sit for writing and editing test. This was followed by a one-on-one interview with the hiring manager and 4 other people from Marketing, Sales, eBay content and HR. The interview setting was casual and friendly. Mainly, they were interested in a candidate that offers not only the right skills and experience, but also attitude and whether or not they will fit into the culture.

      Anonymous employee
      Paris
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (Paris) in Jan 2012

      Interview

      The process consisted of several rounds of interviews (around 5 in general) with people from different departments, mostly face-to-face, but some were on the phone. No HR interview. I also had to pass a test to evaluate my skills in languages (due to the nature of the role I was applying for).

      Question 1

      Q: What do you know about PayPal? Q: Who are PayPal's competitors? Q: What would you change on the website? Q: Do you have experience working in an international environment?
