      Director of Design Interview

      24 Jan 2013
      Anonymous employee
      San Jose, CA
      Accepted offer
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PayPal

      Interview

      I was contacted by an internal recruiter via Linkedin. We set up a time to talk over the phone. In the phone interview the recruiter hardly asked my any questions and seemed very unprepared. If it wasn't for the job description they had sent me, I would have been completely confused why they reached out to me at all. The call was a waste of my time. I was not surprised at all that I wasn't moved forward in the process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They told me PayPal for 4 minutes. Then i had to ask them if they had any questions for me. I got very basic questions like "what is you current position".

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PayPal (San Jose, CA) in Oct 2010

      Interview

      There were five interviews in San José and then three in Austin. The company paid for all expenses. I had a couple of additional phone interviews afterwards as well. Questions were very direct and more qualitative as opposed to quantitative. What were my expectations of the role, What was my strongest attribute that I could offer the company, etc. Overall interview experience was pretty standard.
