I applied online. I interviewed at PayPal in Mar 2023

Interview

Just had a phone screen with a recruiter. Potential next steps were to speak with the hiring manager. The interview took no more than 10 minutes and was pretty dehumanzing. No time was given to ask questions and the recruiter seemed to not care at all about asking questions but more about fulfilling a quota.

I interviewed at PayPal (London, England)

Interview

Initial chat with a recruiter plus three more managers across the company. No outcome or follow up whatsoever despite multiple attempts to get in touch with the recruiter. Please guys, don’t do that. Candidates invest hours of their time in preparation and interviewing. It’s really disrespectful and disheartening to be ghosted. There are real human beings at the other end, please respect our dignity.
