I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at PayPal in Jan 2025
Interview
Recruiter call then followed by technical screening plus case study rounds. Unfortunately PayPal seems to think that ghosting applicants who have invested time in their interview process is acceptable. Has been a few months and have not heard anything back even after sending email followups. Interestingly, have seem the same position reposted multiple times since then.

Average, the interviewer asked questions fro specific topics but the JD has too wide topics. Kind of not sticked to JD. One Should be ready with open mind and give the interview

Process was very well managed by the internal recruiter. Technical rounds of average difficulty and then final rounds with Israeli based managers were strangely confrontational - vague questions with no clarification or context. I would apply again to the company but avoid that particular team if possible.

Started with an introductory recruiter call, followed by a virtual technical interview. The interview consisted of behavioral and technical parts. Was asked about my motivation for applying to Paypal, previous internship experiences, and a leetcode-style question
