I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
1 phone interview, 2 technical interview (varies per team), and one recruiter call (received offer). It was pretty streamlined. One of the technical interview leaned more toward system design, so I didn't receive a live-coding style question for that particular round

Question 1
How do you use AI in your daily productivity workflow
OA -> Recruiter Screen -> 2 technical interviews 45 min each. The recruiter screen asked basic behavioral questions and technicals had couple resume questions and one leetcode problem. The leetcode questions were easy to medium.

Question 1
Why PayPal, A lesson I learned, A time I worked with a team.
There's initially an OA (followed by a behavioral round with a recruiter and then a technical screen with an engineer) - finally a call with hiring manager at the end
