Other Senior Technical Product Manager interview reviews for PayPal
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
One of the worst experiences for a company of such scale.
The process took 3 weeks.
Recruiter >> HM. Everything was fine till this point.
After this recruiter went completely absent. No responses to 3 emails sent over 4 days. So much for a company that has wellness as one of its values.
4 interviews in the loop. Absoloutely no information was shared whether the interview will be case based or not.
The interviewer asked me about instagram reels. He just chose a domain for me to solve a problem that is not in my experience or paypal's product domain.
2 hours before the 3rd interview, it was cut short by 30 min and interviewer was replaced.
4th interview with cross team collaboration was a joke. The guy also new to paypal had no idea of what he wanted to ask. He could not speak english properly and I had to cross question 3 times to just get to know his real intention.
This does not end here. After the loop, the HR asked for my availability for an additional round on a thursday afternoon. I provided on friday morning. I never heard back until Tuesday and then an automated mail arrives.
