I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2021
Interview
Unprofessional, disrespectful to candidate:
- Was scheduled the interview with hiring manager, but the manager was really late and offered no apology
- In the next interview, the interviewer just simply not showed up. When I was about to inform the recruiter, I received an email saying my interview was cancelled
There was no word on apologizing or thanking me for the item. Few days later, i received a rejection email (generated by system).
Really really unprofessional, I would never apply or work for a company treating candidates like this.

I had 2 rounds interviews, one with the direct manager, the other one with skip manager. Both were very nice and friendly. The questions were very standardized product management questions.

Interview
The interview process started with me sending 2 documents of products launch and projects that I’ve worked before with no context, after that the schedule a meeting with the hiring manager who was not paying attention during the interview. So it seemed odd
