      Software Engineer Fresh Grad Interview

      30 Oct 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PayPal in Oct 2024

      Interview

      - Leetcode easy question in python (since i told her i am not comfortable in Java at the present moment) - Asked about how comfortable I am in Java - Asked about basic concepts in OOP (overloading, overriding, abstract classes) - system design question on autocomplete feature - asked about the difference between useState and useEffect Interviewer was sleepy and disinterested from the beginning when I told her I have been practicing in python for the past few months and would not be comfortable with Java in such short notice. Mitigated this factor by saying I taught Java before and that CS students are expected to learn a new language fairly quickly, so I should be able to pick it up again within a few weeks. She tested my abilities, and it checked out, but she still appeared somewhat sleepy and disinterested.
