I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me on Linkedin and presented a front-end engineering opportunity with a high-level detail on what they're looking to fill. My first interview was a video call with someone (supposedly an engineer) approaching a problem on coderpad. I honestly felt the question wasn't all that hard but the interviewer kept assuming that I was trying to cheat because I was "looking" away from the screen (when in reality I had two monitors with the problem on one screen and browser on the other). He kept saying "please look into the camera and talk" and it made me super uncomfortable. It was unfortunately not the best interview experiences I have had.
